I ran across this add on the Baltimore Craigslist and I don't have the funds to even bother looking into it.

How does a 1911 built in 1939 have a Schwartz safety?

The Schwartz safety is from the early '30s if I am not mistaken. It is not a new design.

I would love to see some photos. I wonder if it is actually a .38 Special built on a .38 Super frame??

I would SO love to have that. No money for it right now.

I thought the Schwartz safety is the same old grip safety. I thought it was the original design in 1911 ???

Schwartz was Colt's first attempt at a firing pin safety. It is activated by the grip safety as opposed to the Series 80 firing pin safety which is trigger activated.

BTW, the design is from 1937 according to one internet thread and I have seen the designer's name spelled both Schwartz and Swartz.
