Beautiful. Love these early 1911's. Especially with a history like yours.


Ya learn something new every day. I was at the range shooting it one day and the guy in the next stall looks over says that he liked my 1911. I told him it was my grandfather's gun and he carried it through both World Wars. He asked me if he was in the Marine Corps. I said that he was and I asked him how he knew that. He said that the diamonds on the grips were specific to the Marine Corps.
