Why doe's it look like a parker with a hinge pin?80% blueing,very little case colour left,but very tight.It looks to be 2 5/8 chambers,its going to be a shooter.Would like some info on my 1911,also it turns out my 20g BE with 32"bls has short chambers.why is the model 1911 not listed in blue book

I have three "pin guns" and the pin is different in each one. See my two-part Sterlingworth article in The Double Gun Journal, Volume Fifteen, Issues 3 and 4.
