Hello, I was pointed here from THR. I traded for a new to me, Mk1 45acp. The serial number is 30xx and the left side of the slide is stamped PAT. PENDING and the blueing has turned a nice shade of purple, so I feal it's an early one. It's actually in prety good shape. I'm assuming there are no parts floting around out there, so will an officer's model mag. work in a Mk1.
