I was literally just cleaning my Ballester-Molina a little while ago, it was a mess. Now it functions nicely and isn't covered in muck. Unfortunately the pearl grips I wanted to put on it have different screw ports because the grips are for a colt. So next time my dad goes to Numerich arms he's going to pick up a pair of original grips. I hate the target ones on it, the thumb rest makes hitting the mag release really hard.

Well, I bought it from him, I imagine he bought it from someone else. Britain surplused off it's Ballester-Molinas after the war, as they had no further use for them. When you seem them, they often have British commercial proofs, but this one doesn't. That's not so unusual, as the majority of my British military firearms don't either.

No, other than the slide legend, the only non-obvious mark I've noticed is a HAFDASA proof on the underside of the barrel and the (matching) serials on the barrel and slide. The mag doesn't match, and is in fact a 1911 mag which I suspect got swapped out post-war, but of course it works fine. I'm taking a break from gun purchasing for awhile, but at some point I'll probably order a proper B-M mag from the States and just put this one with my other 1911 spares.
