I have a 1916 issue. I think you have seen pictures of it.LD
Yes.. but, maybe you should post another pic for us to drool over.
Very nice. Gotta love 1911’s
Thanks, HeavyLoad.
what is not to love! other then the sight.
i have carried a 1911 daily for 45 years now in one flavor or another.
retired my 1946 double colt and carry a GC now. should have retired the double colt sooner, but didn't know its value.
deerstalker, you are quite the dedicated 1911 guy. I am not worthy.
I was able to speak at length with the seller today. He is a classically trained, experienced gunsmith. This was one of his personal guns. The only reason he is selling the gun is because he is moving to be closer to his kids and grandkids and needs a little road money.
There is no pitting whatsoever on the gun. He confirmed that. The sights were installed because when the gun came to him, the original combat sights were a mess. He's going to send me documentation on the sights that are on the gun now. He thinks they are either Wilson's or Brownell's. Said it shoots real nice with them. I'm going to leave it that way for now.
Slide and frame fitpoints were polished. Short reset on trigger. Stocks are in excellent condition. Overall NRA rating: Excellent.
I think I'm going to like this old girl..
