Does anyone here remember a special issue commemorative 1911 that was issued in the late 80s or early 90s? It was heavily detailed and I remember it was supposed to come with one magazines worth of ammo using solid gold bullets. They were hollowpoints and had diamonds in the hollow. As I recall the government told them they couldn't sell the ammo like that because the diamond tips made them "armor piercing" ammunition.
The whole thing came in a wooden display box. I considered getting one at the time but it was way outside of what a poor specialist in the army could afford. Does anyone here remember anything like this? I've tried google without success.
