Follow up to the RR NIB thread...

[John Holbrook]

This is my display of NIB M1911A1s, which includes the latest RR. The upper left RR is an early Dulite blue example. The lower left Ithaca came from a doctor in Spokane who was a MASH surgeon in Korea and still alive BTW, and the lower right Colt is the USAAF P47Ns pilot.. ENJOY!!!!!

This shot shows the Ordnance stamp and the early MSH... Also the Dulite blue.



This shot shows the rough surface cause by sand blasting before the finish was applied....
