here is mine.Thanks fred. I should have realized when I posted my picture there may be some confusion. I was actually referring to the Tan S&W 1911. The last picture is the 1911 I recently purchased and it is awful similar to the one BongDu had pictured and I was wondering if it used to be owned by them.
Well, I guess I have to add mine here as well. Got it today; two mags, $700. Dates to March 1917.

Seems like a great price for a WW1 example. Is it matching?

I've been told by various forums that it is in original unmodified WW1 trim, save a G proofed Colt WWII M1911A1 replacement barrel. Also that the slide is a little later production than the frame, but that was normal. The only serial number on these is the one on the frame.

Loving that WW1 1911 and very jealous for that price. Thanks for posting.
Very nice old 1911. Great find!
This is another one of mine. It's an Austin Behlert built Colt pin gun, it shoots like a laser beam, ridiculously accurate.

Crazy! How long is that barrel?Very nice old 1911. Great find!

It's 6", it looks longer because the slide has been shortened 1" and the angle of the picture.
That new new.
Found an original holster today as well as shooting it for the first time. WOW.

Here's the 1911 my father configured for competition shooting back in the 90's... It's mine now. ![[rockon]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/020.gif "Rockon [rockon]")
Pretty sure it was a WWII production model (would have to double check on that) when he got it. The compensator is on the barrel (not the slide) and it's one sweet shooter. Also have some of the really long magazines for it (11 round I think, will have to check). Need to give it a good cleaning and then take it out and send some downrange through it.![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")

My great grandfather's 1911 All matching. All original except for the grips. That is the way I received it and really don't feel the need to find original grips. 1913 date serial number.

Treasure!!
ETA: I do trust it's not loaded, given that it's cocked and unlocked with a mag inserted and the handle of a knife pressing on the trigger!

What is the Flat earth one?
Looks like a SIG.

Yes it is.
Just picked this up Saturday and stripped it down dehorned it and coated it with Tungsten Cerakote. The original plan was sniper grey but my old bottle was showing it's age and didn't coat as smoothly as I like.

Ive been wanting a full length dust cover 1911 for a while now. I really like the detail on the rear sight.

Nice...is it a Springfield?
I lnever removed the front sight base just the insert so I figured I'd do the base the same color.
It's a Rock Island Armory. I removed the Billboard logo......only took about an hour
My next range trip will have this and my full rail TRP and will see how they shoot.
