How’s everyone doing, I’m hoping to find some info on a pistol I inherited from my dad. It’s a US Firearms 7 1/2” China Camp .45LC. He’d bought or traded for it from McBride’s Guns years ago, and they didn’t have the original box that I know of. He was told that it had been finished by Turnbull, which I believe is correct. I was able to get in touch with Sara Turnbull who confirmed they did the color case hardening and bluing for USFA, but they don’t have digital records on a lot of their contract work.
It has a charcoal blue barrel, cylinder, and grip frame, color-case hardened frame and hammer. It also has nitre-blue accents on the frame. The one-piece grips are either stag or elk, but they look more like elk to me. We’ve had grips fitted on several pistols through Persinger in El Paso, but I can’t remember if he fit these or not. I believe he installed these since my dad always preferred the slimmer “1st Gen” grip profile on his SAA’s. The serial number is CC 2XX and is matching in all locations. The overall condition of the pistol is 98%. I’d really appreciate any info anyone may have about the history of these, value, or any other info. I’ve tried to attach a photo, but I’m not sure if the system will let me post as a new user.
