I think I'm picking up on a few things. I'm looking at a gun that seems to have an early frame with the more complex (Times New Roman?) font where it reads "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" mixed with a later slide that has a simpler font (Ariel?) where the patent info and "MODEL OF 1911 US ARMY" is stamped. Am I right? When did the font change?
