What model was it?WWII Colt
My grand dads WWII Colt. He carried it through the South Pacific. He lost his entire company around him, got placed with the Bushmasters afterwards, fought the Japanese until they surrendered. Brought that gun home with him and it was the first pistol my dad ever shot. Had that old colt until the late 70's, early 80's (I wasn't around so can't confirm). Retired then, he decided it was "too much gun" so he traded it, straight across, for an H&R .22 mag/.22 lr revolver. I have that stoopid revolver, only because it was his. As a grown man, I found a pristine 1945 vintage WWII Colt. I pretend that it was grandpas gun. But, I would give nearly everything I own to have that gun that he carried back. I never will, because I don't know the serial number, let alone where he sold it. I still pretend though.
Miss you grandpa.
