Hi Sarge,

I believe the holster you reference while Canadian is manufactured post 1953.

I agree they are overall a decent dealer.

I just disagree with some descriptions. For example the 'early Inland M1A1' they have listed right now is not even from the correct serial range nor...

I would be extremely cautious trusting the descriptions written by pre98.

They like to write a lot of hype and like any other dealer tend to sell a fair amount of non-original firearms for...

All original phosphate Inglis's would have had the serial number applied in the white.

It's possible someone modified the serial number and re-finished the pistol, but without close up pictures...

Nice looking pistol ;)

Nice rig Scott,

I've got an extensive collection of these 'spare' mags as well. Here up North 1911 collectors are looking for the two-tone lanyard loop mags with C broad arrows -- sent as...

Nice! Looks exactly like mine. I believe C3017 was posted on another forum at one point, just two off from mine. -Steve

Hi Bruce,

Can you please explain to us the source of your information?

Many original Inglis stocks exist marked 'Made in Canada'.

This is also stated as an original feature on some Inglis...

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your comments.

Hi,

I struggled for a long time to find a nice US&S M1911A1 North of the U.S. border. I finally found this one in a Montreal estate.

The pistol has matching P's with 'hanging P proof' on the...

I have to agree. I find this thread extremely bizarre, because the helmet that was received looks fresh and I have never seen another Vietnam combat used helmet cover in that sort of mint condition....

Hello,

Here are two Inglis 'Diamonds' manufactured during the final four days of production in 1945. Approximately 50 pistols with this side logo were manufactured, and most are found within two...

Hi Jim,
Thanks. Laminate stocks were developed and saw limited used in 1937 and became more common by 1938.

Good afternoon,

Here's my 1938 Luftwaffe K98k manufactured by Mauser Borsigwalde (Berlin). Some may recognize this rifle as I've posted it before on other forums but decided to share it here as...

The 'made in Canada' stamp is fine. This is a feature of some originals. I talked to Clive Law about this subject before when I was looking at a similar stock.

In my opinion, the OP's holster is...

Good evening,

I finally lettered Colt Government Model C3019 that has been in my collection for a while now.

Shipped to Joseph A. Marks and Company in Detroit with one other pistol on April...

Hi Scott,

A great pistol! I will look closer at this one on your site when time permits ;)

It's nice to see new photos of the pistols out of Charles Clawsons collection. I'm very envious you...

Thanks!

I did photograph and research the internals several years ago, from what I recall it all appeared original including un-cut op rod. I will see if I can find those photos.

I have never...

Hello,

This 1943 Springfield Garand came out of a small shop in Eastern Canada.

This is the only Garand in my WWII collection and I've been pretty happy with it since picking it up.

I...

I will post a few pics of mine as well ;)

Perhaps a gallery album of original 1911's in .455 is in order?

-Steve

I don't see any reason to take that shotgun apart, whether it's possible or not.

That's a great collectible M97, I have a similar 1943 GHD M97 and I wouldn't take mine apart either. Unless...

Hi MkVII,

The example in the Bonhams auction had great provenance that was reflected in that price.

My example was likely brought back by a Canadian at the end of WWI. These are tough guns to...

Hi Johnny,

Paul Szymaszek at Colt archives e-mailed me the details of what's contained on the Colt letter:

"Hi Steven,

Here are the details on Colt Government Model, serial number C187964....

Thanks for the comments Jim and Johnny.

Johnny, this pistol does not have the Schwartz safety. I believe they were not common until C 190000, and I suppose Haiti could have requested to not have...

Hello,

I'd like to share some photos of a rather uncommon 1911 imported by Haiti in 1939.

The pistol is all original and shows the expected wear from tropical service in the Caribbean. The...
