Grading of Sistema Colt and Ballester Molina Pistols

The Sistema Colt and Ballester Molina pistols are now available in three grades, with different prices at each grade.  The description of each grade is as follows:

GRADE 1:  The pistols will have an exterior condition that is at least very good.  Frames, slides, and barrels will have matching numbers.  Bores will be very nice.

GRADE 2:  The pistols will have an exterior condition that is at least very good.  Frames and slides will have matching numbers.  Bores will be very nice.  Barrels will be Argentine military contract replacement barrels installed by Argentine armorers at some point during the pistols' service lives as part of normal maintenance.  The replacement barrels are of every bit as high a quality as the originals, but do not have serial numbers stamped into the chamber hood.

GRADE 3:  These pistols will have matching slides and frames, but will display more finish wear and age than Grades 1 or 2.  Barrel may or may not have a matching serial number, and the bores will show more wear than either Grades 1 or 2, and my display frosting from use with corrosive ammo.

Ballester Molina, Caliber .45 ACP Grade 1:  $239.00 plus $12.00 shipping
Arsenal Refinished Grade 2:  $229.00 plus $12.00 shipping
Grade 3:  $199.00 plus $12.00 shipping
In 1936 - 1937 the Argentine firm of HAFDASA responded to a request from the Argentine government to produce a pistol along the lines of the Colt 1911 style pistols then in service.  Following the work of the Spanish firms Star and Llama, HAFDASA produced a pistol generally similar to the Colts with the exceptions of the removal of the grip safety, modification of the manual safety to lock the hammer and not the sear, a backstrap integral to the frame, and a pivoting trigger with a side mounted sear bar and disconnector.  The only parts that are interchangeable with the Colts (at the request of the Argentine government) are the barrel and magazines.  This pistol was accepted into Argentine service in 1938 as the "Pistola Automatica Calibre .45 Ballester-Rigaud, Modelo DGME 1938.Between 1941 and 1942 HAFDASA changed the trademark of its .45 ACP pistols from Ballester-Rigaud to Ballester-Molina, and the slides were marked accordingly.  Additionally, the use of plastic grips in addition to the wooden grips was introduced.  Ballester-Molina production continued until 1953, when HAFDASA went out of business.

In 1916, the Argentine military adopted the Colt M1911 as standard (called the "Pistola Colt Modelo 1916" in Argentina), and contracted with Colt for the supply of these guns.  In 1927, the Argentines adopted the pistol that became the M1911A1 in the United States, designating it the "Pistola Colt Modelo 1927.  In the mid-1920's, the Argentine Army contracted with Colt to supply 10,000 M1911A1 pattern pistols.  These pistols were delivered between 1927 and 1928.    In 1932, the Argentine Policia de la Capital decided to replace their .38 S&W revolvers with Colt Government Model .45 ACP pistols.  The first Policia de la Capital order was placed in 1933 through a private arms dealer.  Police pistols show the fit and finish typical of pre-war Colts, and are blued with commercial markings while Army pistols were parkerized with military markings.

9x19mm CARBINE and SUBMACHINEGUN MAGAZINES
Shipping for these magazines is $3.00 per magazine up to 5 magazines. After 5 magazines, shipping is free.

The Argentine military has used a variety of submachineguns over the years.  These include the PAM 1 and 2, the various MEMS and HALCON models.  All of these firearms were chambered for the 9mm Parabellum cartridge.  A by-product of having these firearms in inventory was that the Argentine military found itself awash in a variety of 9mm submachine gun magazines.  These  magazines were of both single and double feed varieties, and varied in capacity from 25 to 40 rounds.  One thing they had in common was that they were manufactured to extremely high standards and demonstrated outstanding quality.  Of heavy gauge, all steel construction, these magazines displayed a degree of workmanship and manufacture normally associated with pre-World War II Europe.

JLD Enterprises has acquired a large number of these magazines that were professionally modified so that they would function in a variety of 9mm Parabellum firearms, to include the Cobray M11, AR-15 type submachineguns and carbines, and Uzi submachineguns and carbines.  These magazines are all in like new (factory refurbished) or new condition, and are guaranteed to fit in and function perfectly with the specified 9mm firearms.  If any of the magazines fail to feed in the specified firearm, it can be returned to JLD for an exchange or full refund.
