Leadeye's thread motivated me to get out the camera.
My 1913 production M1911. It was refinished at some point by Springfield Armory, but probably in the 1920's before the M1911A1 was adopted since it doesn't have any of the later improvements. It has a really heavy trigger pull, but otherwise functions smoothly. Considering the date, it is possible that this went on the expedition to capture Pancho Villa!
