The cool thing about the whole story is money and greed never entered the picture, just one honest fellow doing the right thing. He is the true hero! If the auction site would have researched the one they sold they would have seen it belonged to a MOH recipient as well and you can bet it would have gone for well over 10K. As it turns out for less than $1000.00 he still ended up with a 10K+ 1911 and he doesn't even care what it's worth. No one involved looked for anything to boost their assets, pad their wallet or make a buck. Faith in mankind has been restored!
