Bring back (?) Colt 1909 (?) DA .45 revolver.

**Anzac15** · 03-19-2015 09:25 PM

Happened across this today...a Colt 1909 (?) DA .45 Long Colt. I has been modified, shortened barrel and trigger guard worked. Inscribed on the revolver is 'PFC D.O. MORRIS, USMC. GUADALCANAL, NEW GEORGIA, BOUGAINVILLE'. I'm assuming PFC Morris carried this with him through those campaigns, not 100% certain. Will have to try to find some info on him. Anyway, let the pics speak, thoughts welcome!

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

It's a Model 1917 rather than a 1909. No way of knowing if it was actually carried through all the battles or just someone's attempt of making a collectible out of a butchered Model 1917.

Commercial grips. Could be the most desirable things about the revolver.
