I'd say this falls into the bracket of being a very venerable old gentleman of a piece. Well rescued.

Wow! It is really a great pistol. Thanks for sharing.
solid pistols ..we used the 1911A1s into the mid 80s ! in the USMC ...thin grip....as with most weapons, it's the training and motivation of the user that greatly determines its effectiveness
..has the grip and thumb safety which I like ...I never had a misfire, and we were using very old pistols
Yes thanks for sharing that gem. Don't see many like that. Very nice rig congrats.

All I can add, nice acquisition !
I'd rather be A "RaD Man than a Mad Man "
John, wonderful piece!
Such an early example you have there and it looks to be in very good condition.
Man, I’m a huge fan of the 1911 platform. In the right hands, 1911 are among the most accurate of all pistols and the .45 round is a good round, even in 2023. There’s a reason why some elite military and police teams still carry it.

In this world there's two kinds of people, my friend. Those with loaded guns, and those who dig. You dig. CE
Thank you for the additional comments. I am happy to preserve it for a while.

Very nice rig Greg; thanks for sharing. Note that magazine base on the right has the Canadian Broad arrow property mark like this one from my 1914 Colt Government Model pistol.
I've been patient.
I've been silent and supportive.
I've waited with faith and assuredness.
And yet, no range report so far SO,...?
Best,
Pat
