nice peice.i have a 1911 i bought off my dad,one of the grips had a crack in it,so i removed it.it was repaired with rivets and a silver plate with the repairers name and date,1941.my dad served in the 8th army and brought it back with him,along with a zf41 scope and case,it's complete except for thewebbing he cut to remove it.
Very nice gun!
Thanks Bill for showing us.
Did you buy it with the holster and ammo, or separate buys?
I love to get one of those ammoboxes and a nice holster for my own Colt 1911A1.
Best regards

Eric, this type of pistol carved a deep impression on my child's mind, the first time i saw it and laid my hands on, in the summer of 1974, a 10 yo back then, as my father, an Army officer, brought it home (ammo stored in a locked drawer), during the Greek-Turkish crisis over Cyprus. The next time i laid my hands on, was back in 1988 when i was issued one during my Army duty. Since then it's my fav-all time classic weapon, the epitomy of all combat handguns...
Take care, Thanos.
very nice pistol bill just brilliant thanos i wish our military used the 1911 as well as the high power
