    Ithaca 1911A1 My fathers pistol

    This is my fathers .45 automatic. In the 50s he was in the Air Force stationed in Alaska and maned a listening post on the Aleutian Island. He was in intelligence and plotted Russianicon Pilot positions based on their radio transmissions and worked with a Russian linguist. He ordered the surplus pistol and it was shipped to him. I learned to shoot an automatic pistols with this gun. As noted in the title this is an Ithaca 1911A1, made in 1944 if I am correct. It came with a black leather US holster and belt. Shoots great and accepts any type of ammo. Most of wear came from me and my brother. When my Dad got on in years he gave me the pistol. It is of course greatly treasured and I am lucky.

    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.

    Very nice. I like that is has the US Government Property stamped into it. Also nice that it eats all ammo types. That seems to be in opposition to what all the custom 1911 makers want us to believe. :-/
