7thEvac Posted July 16, 2018 Share #1 Posted July 16, 2018 Has the 7th Army insignia and the name "Richard Zeman" on the left grip and the 4th Army insignia on the right. Still works, but is prone to feeding problems like most of them. These were issued to 2nd and 3rd line troops in WW1 and were used in WW2 by police, etc. This one dates to circa 1917. Haven't found anything on the GI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atb Posted July 16, 2018 Share #2 Posted July 16, 2018 That's a Ninth US Army insignia, not a Fourth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Keith Posted July 19, 2018 Share #4 Posted July 19, 2018 Nice! I generally don't like the chrome plating on military firearms, but with the extra info on the grips, it is a great souvenir item! Thanks for posting it. BKW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
