[Leadeye]

Great looking 45!

 

[Travis45]

No they just made 1911A1s. They only made 55,000 in 1943.

Nice, one of these is floating around in my family. I just hope it doesn't get sold by some dumb knucklehead as it was carried by my grandfather in WWII.

A gun like that deserves better quality pictures.

 

[Travis45]

That one was carried by my stepmother's father in WWII. As for the picture quality we had to use a cell phone.

I have the one that my Grandfather carried in WWII. It's a beautiful gun and a real piece of history. Congrats on your find.

Just to be clear, you do know you have "GOLD" there, do you not?
You need to make every effort to get the best quality pictures you can of it and lots of them, inside and out with a very good background setting. Spend time and do it right. BTW don't change a thing on it, keep it stock and clean it carefully. If you can, do a history write up on it with any documentation you can find. You'll be glad you did.
Then post the results here on INGO for all to enjoy.

10mm when you care enough to send the very best.

Even though i'm usually into the more "tacticool" type of stuff, I've always really loved those, and wanted one.
That's a very nice looking example you've got there. Congratulations!

I don't know about the pics but as far as the 1911 goes, he is DEAD ON.

Hold on to it. They are awesome pieces of history.... and you can always throw some hardball in it and fire away if need be.

Maybe you were thinking of Commercial Controls Corporation?
The only made a couple of hundred of so if memory serves.

Nice, nice, nice!!..did I mention that gun is nice? My dad had a Singer Mfg 1911 years ago and sold it to help with hospital bills, and about twenty years ago he traded for a pristene 1911 made in 1915 by Colt, marked US property, sold for about $1500

 

[jffyg]

WOW

That is exactly what I have in my minds eye when I think .45, it is perfect in every way. Personally I find no greater beauty than form following function....and you have the perfect example of that. I would keep that one in the family for generations to enjoy!
