Hi folks,

I have been forever wanting a vintage 1911 to go with my military vintage rifles and as luck would have it, I was just browsing the LGS an spotted a consignment piece put up by a 70 year old widow selling off her husbands guns. I saw that it was a Colt and that was always one of my desires when looking for a 1911 just because I like the "Colt" association with the 1911 even though the other brands are every bit as good.....

Now I am not anywhere close to really knowledgeable on these but based on my limited understanding of the 1911 'look for' items for a good purchase, this one seemed to be a good find so I jumped on it. It cost me $1850 and think I paid top dollar for it but still within what I consider to be a fair value for this piece in the condition it is in.

Can anybody tell me anything specific about this weapon other than it is a US Army assigned 1911 from 1917? Can somebody do an SRS search for me?
