that has perhaps had a Model 29 barrel fitted to it. The Model 29 had a crossbolt safety behind the trigger.

What you appear to have is the receiver of a Model No. 10D "Tournament" Grade gun from the mid-teens --

It could possibly be a 10T-D.
I can not see the forearm or the top of the receiver so I can not be sure, but the rib appears to be of that style.

Re: Questions about a friend's Model 29
There won't be any information an a "Blue Book" on the value of a gun cobbled together from parts. A nice original Model No. 10D "Tournament" Grade would have "collector" value. A gun with a non-original barrel, a non-original stock, and an out of period recoil pad has no "collector" value. The complicated
John D. Pedersen designed Model 10 has little value as a shooter, as once they wear and get out of time, parts for repair are unobtainable, and there is no one left alive with the ability to make one right. I can see this gun languishing in the pawn shops in my area with a $300 price tag on it.
