Here are some pictures. No I did not get in Chicago. I bought it from a man who claimed his grandfather ordered it new in the south, Alabama if I remember correctly. I am currently in the middle of a full metal restoration by Doug Turnbull but I so far have only been able to afford to have the barrels refinished as I am a poor college student. I do not usually believe in restoration but the gun was already refinished in a finish similar to a 1911 from WWII ironically refered to as "Parkerized" finish, so something had to be done. The trigger guard and the top lever still have this finish which can be seen in the photos.
