    Is the serial number tu-tu?

    What's "tu-tu"?

    BTW: The actual serial number is on the left lower frame and underneath the slide. The number often seen on these on right frame, top of slide, and barrel (and magazines) is the issue number. Many make the mistake of using the issue number as the S/N on the B-M.

    To make it more confusing, the Argentines' Sistema Colt S/N is located in the same places as the B-M issue numbers (the real number is stamped on the frame inside the mainspring housing channel).

    THESE ARE NOT PICS OF BERTFISH'S PISTOL.
    MERELY FOR INFO PURPOSES :)

    Possumman made a joke that went over your head.

    You see I called it a Ballerina Molester (which collectors have been using since at least the '70's) and one of the garments a Ballerina wears is a Tu Tu. ;)

    I have been there myself. Family first and you can always replace what sells.
    I have said many times "I don't want to own every toy in the world, just use them awhile and move them on"

    I mean we're definitely financially stabled. Blessed to have solid income. But it makes her feel better at a time when peace is hard to come by

    you're right, that zipped right past me. :)
    if it had been "tu-tu" in quotes I might have caught it... or tried to figure out how Desmond TuTu got into the picture.

    Let's say someone were to purchase this pistol.

    Is it heretical to refinish it or replace the worn grips? Is this a historical piece that should remain in the safe?
