I just liberated a 1911A1 from a pawn shop a few weeks ago, and the gun has kind of grown on me lately. I shelled out a few bucks for a new recoil spring and magazines, but overall I'd like to keep it as close to the original "G.I." configuration as I can.
I'm dying to know when this gun was manufactured, and who it was issued to. The latter I'll probably never know, but maybe someone can help me with the former. The gun has the "United States Property" and "1911A1 U.S.Army" markings. It has been refinished, so the collectors value is next to nothing, but I'll keep it as a piece of history nonetheless.
The slide has the prancing pony on it, along with the Colt's patent dates.
