Here's a few more photos. Thanks for the help thus far.

Nate,

Thanks so much for posting those. That's super helpful. I'll get a photo of mine this evening so we can determine what it's set up to shoot. Which of the parts belonged to the .45 ACP? Longer or shorter arms? (sorry, I'm not sure what those parts are actually called.)

Also, yes, rifle was manufactured in 1919 from what I'm seeing.

Pretty much everything I'm seeing online indicates that the barrels were all marked .45 LC but are actually .45 ACP. Looks like it was a custom job specifically for the police departments upon importation of the rifles into Argentina. From what I'm seeing, they were sent from Argentina to the US wit...

I've been doing a lot of reading about these over the past few days. Not sure what's been confirmed as truth vs. speculation.

As far as chambering rounds, barrel is marked .45 LC and I do not have any laying around. The barrel currently on it is the .44 WCF barrel. That being said, I can at least ch...

Argentina police markings

So, little more information on it. Currently has a Numrich .44 WCF barrel on it, but it also came with the "original" 16" .45 LC barrel that was modified for the Argentinian police. Stock is in pretty good shape. Has the cool ladder sites. Metal is all pretty decent. Looks to me like ...

Hi all, Just bought a rifle that I'm looking to gather some information on, mostly value. Got it at an auction. In pretty decent shape. Stock has a few scratches and dings and some use marks, but is marked Argentinian police, .45 caliber. It has two barrels, both marked winchester. The one currently...
