Identifying Mr. Schmidt (Rubin)

Ok, so, turns out I was right.  A quick rumble around the web let me figure out, I was looking at a Schmidt Rubin Model 1911 manufactured in 1917, proofed, inspected, and certified by a Major Mühlemann.

Kind of cool to be holding a weapon manufactured in a country surrounded by, but not a participant in, "The Great War".
