I can see the gunbroker ad right now...
"WW2 era Colt M1911A1. Excellent+ condition for the age, some small pitting that should clean up. Bore excellent with a little frosting in the grooves and the grips are missing but are easily replaced. Sold as-is."

wow, very cool, love the history, would love to have something like that in my collection.
i have a few other dug, and found guns, knives ect. one i wish i kept was a Garand that was found on a beach , and sold to me by an old man that lived accross the street from me.
it was working, and shootable, but really rough, rusty, pitted, ect. like a dummy i sold it back in the 1980,s at a show, i dont remember what beach he found it on, the guy worked security in Ca and drove the beaches in the mornings.
thats one a few neet ones i let get away.:{
