I have an opportunity to buy a Colt Commando 2", but I have my doubts. The serial number is D31491R. The barrel says Colt Commando. On the RH side there is a screw that I believe retains the crane. The gun i am looking at looks like this.
I believe it should look like this,
Also the grips look like this,
The gun appears to be parked and has 100% finish. I can see a halo around the front sight where it appears to be silver soldered in place.
Also the front sight isn't shaped like the gun in the center above, but more like an old Detective Special (like this one).
The only thing else I can say is the sideplate fit and crane fit aren't real nice.
My concern is it is a newer gun that someone made to look like a Commando.
