My friend's grandfather passed away a few months ago. In the will he left him all the tools and this pistol.
Story is, grandfathers brother was in the army or such way back. Took his 1911 apart piece by piece and mailed it back to the states to his sister. Well after the war that pistol, then complete, got stolen or something out of grandfathers truck. Grandfather bought him another one to replace it. When the brother died he had it given back. So friend grandfather ended up with it. Or so the story goes.
So he is now has a 1911 that is rather unique. Ive done a little quick research and cant find that there ever were shiney guns like this. I dont know the finish as ive never had my hands on it. But he sent me these scans of it. Rather large so be warned. Any info on it includeing general price, for insurance reasons he would never sale it tho, and like how collectable it may be would be of great help. I blured out the last 3 of the serial but left enough to identify it...
