I have one of those. Serial indicates produced in 1927. Takes 38 Short Colt.
Not that I've fired it much :)
How do you know that that's what Patton carried? I had always assumed it was a 1911 also.
Well Patton carried his famous guns in the holsters but he also carried a. 32 or .38 in a shoulder holster. Watch the movie again and you can see it.
