I sold one manufactured in 1912 last year for $1000 that was a tad better than the one pictured. The "U.S. Property" stamp was defaced as well as the "Model of 1911 U.S. Army" stamp. The owner had me send it to Doug Turnbull for restoration and I must say it's perfect candidate for that. It'll be interesting to see it when finished. They do a beautiful job and will reapply the defaced markings.
