Show Off With Captured German Weapons

[rcathey]

Got a hell of a deal on the Colt. 1953 commercial production. It had a sight rail installed on the top which I removed. I filled the holes with some high quality screws, sanded flush, and cold-blued. They're hard for even me to find now. The front strap has been stippled which honestly has kind of grown on me.
I'll pick up a military issue 1911 someday and sell this on down the road to offset the cost. But for now, it's a fine placeholder.
