Pre 1924 1911. Nice piece.

The 5 major approved changes to the old model (1911) included: 1. Extending the tang of the grip safety. 2. Finger clearance cuts were added to the receiver. 3. The mainspring housing was knurled and raised. 4. The trigger face was knurled and cut back.


Wonder if it has any bodies on it.

Things like this make me wish I was rich and irresponsible.

I think most of us have the irresponsible part down and that's why we're not rich

I don't often wish I had FU money but if I had absolute FU money I would love to buy it and daily carry it.
