I started collecting in Milsurps with GARANDS and know the differance between an original and a restored and the price differance. Though if not told by seller I most likely can't tell.
It seems in 1911's if a part or parts are not correct ie barrel, safety you know any number of small parts, a owner can find and shazam it can be an original. Or can it? I know if I found one say a 1940 something and all but the barrel was correct I would have no problem replacing it with the correct one (if possible) but if selling I would let buyer know. Yes? Or is it not as important in 1911 land?
