    IIRC, the first run, the WMK 01911 Carbonia Blue model, was limited to 4 or 5 thousand, can't recall for sure. I have one, and it's gorgeous! A fine piece of work, it is. The 01918 model in Black Oxide is still in production.

    There was also a run of WWII reproductions of the M1911A1, but they didn't sell too well due to some "inaccuracies" that the collectors scoffed at. I have one of those too, I think there was under 3000 of those made.

    You'll get much better details and answers at the m1911.org and 1911forum.com forums. Also try 1911auto.org .

    Here's my little horsie pistols.....WWI repro on top, WWII on bottom. (like I need to tell y'all that)
