Ballester-Molina

[Blind Hog]

From last weekend's SCACA show here's a nice Ballester-Molina added to the collection. Just had to have this one to keep the Air Force Sistema company. Yea that's it, that's why I brung it home.

Serial number indicates that this one was produced in 1944. It has been refinished at some point in its life. Where ever and by whom is anyone's guess, but it was certainly well done.

I got one that looks just like it from SOG a few years ago. They had original finish and parkerized, so I got one of each. The blued one looks better than I hoped, but the parked one looks new (like yours).

I like it alot, very nice example. I have been looking at one at a LGS and it appears to be in a similar condition. You mind lettings us know what you gave for it? They are asking $375 for the pistol they have. Seams a bit high to me.

I got to see one in person. A beautiful piece of work. Thanks for sharing Francis.
