My father has a Nickel Plated 1911 with wood grips S/N 49XXX, It has Model of 1911 U.S. Army on the right side and on the left side of the frame it says United States Property. It has t he Major Walter G. Penfield stamped on the left side frame, it also has a horse holding a sword stamped on the left side up near the top. Also on the left side it has the Patented information and Colts name and address. The gun is in flawless condition and works and fires flawlessly This gun looks near 100%. It does not have any arsenal rebuild markings.
My father brought it back from WWII in this condition.
I dont have any pics yet, but I will get some. The gun will NEVER be for sale, My dad will give it to me and one day I will give it to my son.
Without pics, can anyone give me an idea of its value and any more info about it ???
Thanks,
J
