Didn't see anyone else mention this, but a vintage WWII 1911 has collector value, especially in original condition, meaning keep the finish and barrel, even if you wish to shoot it, and/or replace it - keep the barrel and don't re-finish gun, don't start swapping out grip/thumb safety, etc. if you want maximum value someday down the road.
