    1917 Colt 1911

    I thought the board might be interested in seeing this 1911 that I recently picked up at an estate sale. Records show that it was part of a shipment of 1000 guns to the Philippines on 18 April, 1917.

    Would have to guess that one never made it anywhere near the Philippines! Hardly looks like it ever left Connecticut.

    Gorgeous example, congrats.
    I always tell my collector mates to put originality at the top of their priority list, originality isn't something that can be restored. I've never seen a 1911 I didn't like.
