Thanks all! It was very nice to find a Colt for under $3000. Crazy prices this stuff goes for.

This came out of a 62 year olds collection and he got it from the original owner. Owners name is on the belt. That’s about all i know.

Very nice find.

Love those old 1911A1, with the brown holster makes it even better. This is what I call a real pistol, don't care for the "plastic" gun of today. Ignorance of youth before GCA of 68 these things were everywhere, could order them from all the outdoor magazines and have them delivered to your door. Wish I would have collected a truck load of them back then. Hind sight is always better than foresight.
