1917 Artillery trade

Hi all, I'm new. Just traded for a 1917 Artillery, all matching, save for the magazine. Original finish appears to be about 90%, about 50% on the strawed parts. The grips are very nice but a bit loose and they are numbered to the gun. The sights are the fine adjustment type. It shoots great and functions flawlessly after a detailed cleaning.

I will change the firing pin, grips and side plate assembly to be able to shoot now and then without risking the original parts.

I would be interested in reasonably priced holster, stock and assesories. Matching is not that important but would be a bonus. As soon as I can lay hands on a good camera I'll send photos.

The best part is it only cost me a series 80 Colt Combat Commander that I had about $600 in.
