Tango,

The price on the cover of the book shown below is $34.95.
Last printing 2004. ISBN 0-9633971-3-3
Clawson Publications.

Clawson wrote a (massive) book years ago which is now a collector's item.
That is the expensive book.
I believe the title was Colt .45 Service Pistols or Colt .45 Government Models.

Good luck,

David

I do not shoot collectable weapons. Every time you shoot one you are just wearing it out a little bit.

Ditto here. What are the letter stamps on the top side of the toe of the 1911 mags?
