I walked into a local shop and a guy that I know personally (who previous set me up with the deal of a life time on a war time Colt 1911 made around 1918) was hanging on to this little jewel
This is a Colt 1911 L.W
it was made in 1953 or 1958 I need to verify which but you dont see these every day. Its tight and the one scratch is on the port side but overall really a nice piece. even the grips are not chipped like most of this vintage are

I am pretty happy to own it. I just got the chance to take it apart and clean it again its very tight

its one I kind of had to share
Its a commitment to carry a 1911 the weight of this makes it reasonable you really notice the weight or lack of when you pick it up

I just looked at the pics the gun is oiled a but that is not pitting or blems
