I looove the finish on that one!This was my grandfather's 1911.
The clear plastic grips were ones he had one of the regiments armorers create for him just before he went to Korea.
And it appears to be a very high conditioned gun, as such, it would be worth a small treasure, indeed, in monetary value. If that pistol is all original, in the condition it appears to be in, it is worth an easy four figures.I like this old war horse. I bought it from the widow of the WW2 vet. it was issued to. It was made in 1918, no doubt a reissue to him. It took me 3-4 years to talk her out of it. She always would say "It reminds me of him" or some such thing. I'll treasure almost as much as she did.
Warts?? All I see is a fine looking pistolThis is one of mine. I always wanted to build a 1911 from the frame up. Here it is, warts and all:
Maxxhavoc, that hardware looks very similar to a PARA.
Is that a PARA slide?
Nice pistol @maxxhavoc , but I see no warts
