The large lanyard ring on the left side is retained from the military model 1922. The model ceased production in 1931, when it was replaced with the Second Model B, below. The Model B was developed and marketed approximately synchronously with the model A versions, with production commencing in 1924. It is very odd they did this, as later A and B model guns shared many parts including complete frames, and the 1922 was a very different design with a grip safety backstrap, so it's not that these were made with spare parts. The frame is also a middle ground between the shape of the 1921 and the final shape of the A/B seen from the 1922 model onwards. ![]() ![]() The first Model B is a transitional design, with much the layout of the 1922, but retaining the T-shaped extractor of the Model 1921.
