Sill available?

flashpan · Feb 9, 2021

Yes it is.

Great, I'm interested, but curious why it hasn't sold, do you know of any reason?
What do the barrel markings indicate?
Do you have more history of the pistol besides year of manufacture?
Are all the parts original?

What would shipping cost to my FFL in Creswell (just S of Eugene)?

Thanks,
Greg

Why it hasn't sold? Unless you really know 1911's, most folks get skiddish when they learn that most of these pistols have had parts upgraded or replaced one or more times by the US armorers. Very very few WW1 1911's are in all original condition ... those few are not affordable by anyone I know.
Let me know if you still want the detail on this one...if it could talk, I'd keep it.
Thanks
