    Dragged behind the truck...

    A lot of 1918 pistols look like they were dragged behind the truck, but every once in a while...you run into a really nice one.

    My high school English teacher always taught us to never use the word gorgeous because nothing is truly gorgeous but, sorry Miss Smile, this 1911 is gorgeous!!!

    I knew the pistol was crisp while I was considering to purchase it, but had no idea how new it really was until I got it home, wiped all the crud off and photographed it. I sure am thankful those before me who possessed it had enough sense to properly preserve it.
