An Army 1911 from the USS CALIFORNIA...

I bought this Colt at a gunshow in Spokane,WA several years ago for parts, as it was in poor condition. I decided to send it to the late Bill Adair and have him work his magic on it. When I got it back, I ran an SRS search and lo and behold it has a known and interesting history!! I love it when that happens!!!

BTW, I paid $200.00 for it!!!!

The insert in the photo is from the SRS database.....

That's a beauty, especially with the provenance. I'd like to be as lucky some day! :cheers:

Hey Charlie, thanks, however I have found that the harder I worked, the luckier I got!!!!!!!!!!
