    Happy 101st Birthday Colt M1911

    The first (50) Colt M1911 pistols were shipped 4 January 1912. Here are a couple photos of a pistol owned by a friend that was in that first shipment.

    The sights, barrel, magazine and dimpled mag lock have been replaced with later parts, but it's still a rather impressive pistol. This pistol had reportedly been used at Camp Perry some 50 years ago, when his father acquired it. That may explain some of the changed parts, especially the sights and barrel.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    THAT explains why I bought a somewhat distressed Govn't Model today. Been wondering what possessed me...really! (Early Argentineicon contract)
