The 1911 my dad owns came with pachmayr grips. He has replaced those with some custom wood grips but the plunger tube had this metal plate extend upward over the serrations on the slide. It used to say Pachmayr on it but I had it filed away and his initials engraved on the tab for a Christmas present. Is there any functional reason that this plate exists? Or is it just so that the Pachmayr name could be put somewhere?
Thanks,
Here is an example of what it looked like but it was blued steel not stainless...
