SOLDUS WW2 HIGH STANDARD MODEL “B” US PROPERTY MARKED VERY SHARP

IN 97% VERY SHARP CONDITION, WE HAVE A RELATIVELY RARE US PROPERTY MARKED HIGH STANDARD USA MODEL “B” .22 LR TARGET PISTOL. THIS IS THE ACTUAL PISTOL PICTURED ON PAGE 242 OF PATE’S U.S. HANDGUNS OF WORLD WAR II , THE SECONDARY PISTOLS AND REVOLVERS. THE MODEL USA H-D WAS PROUDCED WITH A A HIDDEN HAMMER AND A 4 1/2 INCH BARREL AND FIXED SIGHTS. IT MADE A VERY EFFECTIVE TRAINING PISTOL WHEN LEARNING HOW TO USE THE 1911A1 SERVICE PISTOL. APPROXIMATLEY 14,000 WERE PROCURED BY THE GOVERMENT AND THIS EXAMPLE WAS SHIPPED ON 12/9/1942. THEY WERE WIDELY USED BY THE US NAVY FOR TRAINING. THIS IS A TOP CONDITION EXAMPLE AND I MIGHT ADD IT HAS THE ADDED UTILITY OF BEING A GUN YOU COULD TAKE OUT AND SHOOT RECREATIONALY EVERY NOW AND THEN. THESE PISTOLS ARE VERY HARD TO FIND WITH STORNG CONDITION SUCH AS THIS EXAMPLE. REDUCED FROM 1975.00
