Okay, it's used.....but what can you expect from a gun built in 1917!

It's beautiful! You had to part with a lot of marbles for that.

And the correct MSH so it will look perfect. Nice find..... makes me envious.

Gorgeous holster too!

Well I'll be tarred and feathered, I thought the arched main spring housing was correct but doing a little looking they had a flat smooth housing.

I do love me a wide spur hammer, another Greg curse. Everybody knows that.

yup, I have a hammer from an Argentine 1911 that someone shaved a bit so it won't gnaw on my hand, got some double diamond grips and like you already noticed need the right MSH. Also, gonna put a new Wolff spring pack in it before I hit the range with it.

Yup, and the trigger is shorter than mine is too.

I know a guy that can make handles for something like that, I think he's still around.

I'm gonna check my treasure chest and see if I got a main spring housing. Oh wait, we need flat not arched.

I know I got some flat but they aren't smooth, they are serrated and checkered.

Wouldn't be correct but they are flat?

I like it! What's it's story? Sometimes a good tale outweighs a few non period parts on a 1911.

I wish I did have a story on it. Fellow who had it had just gotten it and was wanting a Garand. So we made the swap. I wish it did have Bring back papers or anything, but nada. Maybe we can get Muggsy or Jocko to make up a good yarn for it....or maybe not Jocko.

That thing is a gift at a grand. You stole it.
