2012年11月10日 · ( WWII 1911's were made by Remington Rand, Colt, Ithaca, USS, and Singer ), Singer only made 500 1911's, I have seen one sell for 14,000 dollars. To top off the problems in values, there are the fakes, a few re-cuts of the serial number, a couple of phony markings, and a 700 dollar gun is now a 3000 dollar gun.

2004年11月14日 · In 1950, when I was called up for the Korean war, I bought an unfired Colt 1911 that was made in 1917 and issued to a Colonel I knew who prefered to carry his commercial 1911 in two wars. It (the magazine) had the lanyard loop as shown, and it was a beautiful, UNIFORM heat blue from the floorplate to the feed lips.

2011年7月22日 · I was out gun lookin the other day and came across a Colt 1911 WW1 Comemorative that had been shot some by the previous owner. It is priced pretty cheap since the collectors value went down the tube. I was wondering if these guns were actually made to shoot or just to look at. It was very tight and clean with a few handling marks.

The grip has emblems on either side, one side has Belleau wood on it and the other has a list of the countries and the saying "The great war for civilization".. Has a serial # 2364-BW.. This pistol is in great condition..

Model 1911s were not just used in WW1, they were used until the 1911 & A-1 pistols were phased out of service. If one wanted to spend the money, the gun could be deplated, refinished and blued, as these models were originally finished.

Most 1911s will handle SWCs very well, but a few don't. To add more advice, we need to know what those bullets weigh and what the design is.

2008年7月17日 · On the slide the markings MODEL OF 1911.U.S. ARMY should be on one line and there shouldnt be Caliber 45 on it. (Remington had the Caliber 45 on their slides.) Also lettering should be Roman style but are in Block style …
