[Pistolero45ACP]

did you get any? Prices are out of site at that auction!!

 

[armabill]

No, way too much for me. But I do have 3 Indian Arms that I got else where.

 

[Pistolero45ACP]

Great!! I sure enjoy the two I have.

 

[armabill]

One of the pistols did have a light brown stain on the slide. Do you know what that was?

 

[Pistolero45ACP]

I have heard that some of the Indian pistols had a lock installed in the side but I have never seen one. Have you?

No, but a lot of the firearms had rust

 

[armabill]

I never saw the lock. It didn't look like rust, too light.

 

[armabill]

It was too contoured for forming rust. Straight lines on the side and slowly washes out at the ends. Reminds me of light masking tape marks.

I noticed a lot of the firearms had some type of wash on them, may have been LSA oil to prevent rust.

 

[armabill]

Sounds about right.

 

[Pistolero45ACP]

this one?

 

[armabill]

Yeah, that's it.

The quality declined after Indian Arms went out of business.

 

[armabill]

When importation of the Walther was banned, Indian Arms produced PPK copies, followed by Eagle Arms and Michigan Armament (4000 made). Production was permanently ceased when Michigan Armament moved to California where Kimber bought them.
