Description:

Manufactured at an unknown date, pistols with similar configuration and markings have been attributed to the Pusan Jin Iron Works in South Korea. While showing a rough-hewn nature, this pistol makes it much closer to the mark than your stereotypical Asian knock-off, with the only significant deviation being the magazine, which looks like a re-purposed Webley 45 Auto altered to fit and notched for the magazine catch. Some components, especially the hammer and mainspring housing, may be repurposed USGI parts. Fixed sights, with the Pusan-attributed (untranslated) address on the right side of the frame, milled trigger, long grip safety, serrated arched mainspring housing and checkered grips.

Rating Definition:

Very good for the type, with a bright overall appearance, traces of light spotting, and scattered light dings and dents. The grips are good, with a few chips and dents. The magazine does not engage the hold-open and can bind up on the grip screws if over-tightened, otherwise mechanically very good.
