Pistol - a 45 -- ID Needed

[Mike H]

Gentlemen,

Can you tell me what this "Colt 45" clone is? As you can see, the name stamped on the left side is U. S. & S. Co.

No idea and need your help.

Ok ...

OK. Got.

Who are they? As you can tell, I don't know much about firearms -- my father bought this years ago and I have it now. I have not heard of this company. What did they do? Did they make clones of the 45?

Crowback,

Many thanks for the link. Learned a lot just by looking.

I believe this pistol has been re-blued. My father carried one of these in the Marines in WWII and after and I suspect he just wanted a representative piece and did not want to spend $5K. I was astonished at the prices.

Always info to be found here!

My best,

Mike
