Hello 44automag,

It appears to have been manufactured in the late 1920's to just before World War 2 time frame. The portion of the receiver where the serial number would normaly be found shows so much wear that I can't say for sure that it did not originaly have a serial number. In fact, the surface of the receiver seems to be somewhat below the surface of the lever link in that area, indicating that the serial number may have been removed at some point.

The link you posted to the pictures has been altered such that I can not find it. I will assume that you posted the pictures on a different forum somewhere, and that GB's nanny software has deliberately obliterated the name.

At this point, all I can tell you is that it was manufactured sometime after mid 1919, but before 1940. Please send me a PM with the name of the forum or website where the pictures are located. You could also post the pictures here.
