John, many years ago I collected martial marked 1911's. I got really busy, lost interest and sold them all...most to David Buehn (I think that's correct) out in CA. When I sold them I bought a Kriegoff skeet gun and new Jeep for my daughter. Had I held onto them, I probably could have bought the skeet range and the dealership by now.
A few years ago I examined a collection of 1911's that darn near had me in tears over my "lost" collection. I saw them at a gun show in Nashville, TN., and I wonder if that collection might have been yours.
