<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 48778, member: 54"]My vote is that the notches are probably decorative. Their presence in a metal component is odd, few users of firearms took the time to damage them like that. If it was issued to an organized military or police unit, there was likely a harsh punishment for such vandalism. The pistol looks authentic and seems to match the catalog item.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
