It starts with the finish, which is deep rust blued and beautifully polished. At first glance you would think these are your run-of-the-mill 1917 Brownings, but upon closer inspection significant differences are apparent. These are extremely rare Browning-type belt fed, water-cooled machine guns in 7.65x53mm Argentine.

Could it be mere coincidence that both of these 1927 pistols have the DD walnut grips and both sets bear the 'RA' roll marks on the back?Īlso, my 1927 slide has 19 serrations on the back, the same as my 1917 Colt.

I now have a C&S Long Aluminum Match Trigger with smooth face.

Here is a photo of my 1927 Colt, stripped down for restoration.
