Dave,

Looking back thru one of my books entitled "Jane's Infantry Weapons, 1975". There is a picture of one of those silenced versions. The caption reads the following:

"The Model 45 fitted with a silencer designed for the CIA. Although not very effective it has been used by American Special Forces in Vietnam."

I can photograph the picture in the book and place it here if you or others want verification.

-Mr. Plaster was correct. I can take a picture of the picture in the book if you want complete verification? I can get you some info on Mr. Batman if you can give me another day at the most.

-Although the lower reciever is made out of aluminum, the internals and the selector switch are made out of steel. With the weather and usage in SEA it just might be possible to have that piece rusting. Anybody know the answer to this question?

Give me until tomorrow to get some info out to you on Mr. Batman. Others here may know more and get it out to you sooner.
