I bought this one from a fellow retired firefighter who didn't know what he had. But, I made sure to pay him what I thought it was worth.
It was owned and carried by his father-in-law who was flying a B-24 in the South Pacific during WWII. He was issued it new in 1943. He fired one mag full for qualification and never again. He brought it home and stored it in a dry location. There it sat ever since.View attachment 532424 View attachment 532425 View attachment 532426 View attachment 532427
When I sold it (reluctantly) He insisted and I didn't want to, but got three times what I paid for it. The buyer tracked down the Pilot's family and wrote the original story behind him and the pistol. It is in a museum, now. The gun is in 100% new condition.
Now you'll be able to see what it looked like before I got a hold of it...I still have it.
Dave Berryhill was another 1911 mentor of mine...sadly passed away a few years ago.
Berryhill AFP = Dirt Tough!!
Yep, that's the one, thanks!!
A series of 1911's made for operations groups over seas. The models sent over seas are unmarked, no way to trace.
Cerberus Tactical specializes in hard use firearms, both rifle and pistol.
Here's my favorite. An early Ed Brown Kobra Carry in some vintage Davis Leather.
