Awfully hard to document that gun was actually there, and without iron clad providence it’s just a very nice WWII 1911 of course. He doesn’t even seem to pretend to have documentation so...
Buy the steak not the sizzle...

Buy the steak not the sizzle... ***** Bill.... certainly does not appear in photograph to be an arsenal rebuild. Spring Armory Museum in Massachusetts has 1911’s stacked flat in circular arrangement in steel cans which look to be about 5 gallon size. Pistols I viewed were parkerized 1911-A1 with brown, checkered plastic grips. Pistols could have been new, unissued, or arsenal rebuilds, parkerized. Rebuilding was par for the guns of John Moses Browning, a quality impractical or impossible to many rival or more contemporary firearms. Thus, browning guns exhibit a trans-generational service life. Rather doubt old, checkered double-diamond walnut scales would be slapped on an arsenal rebuilt 1911. Aside from all that, parkerizing on yon Gunbroker specimen looks suspiciously overdone. A quick teardown may support my layman perspective. David Bradshaw |
