Follow up to the RR NIB thread...

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!!!!!:)

It is a Type 2 and was made at the time of the of the transition to phosphate finish.
