Determining originality with certainty of a WWII 1911
I am somewhat new to collecting military 1911's. I am aware that there are books and experts on the subject.
When it comes to a war time production pistol made 70 + years ago , unless things are obvious , how do we determine its originality? How much certainty do we have that this perticular pistol left the factory as it is now or it did not?
Recently bought a 1944 Colt. After researching it for few days ( thats to all the knowlege of people on forums) , I started to wonder about it .
Any opinons will be appreciated.
