I am offended by the term old used with 1980's,,,
That would classify my 1951 vintage body as
ancient
Okay, that was meant to be humorous.
But there is a bit of truth to the statement,,,
Something that's been around for a mere 38 years isn't "old".
I would be willing to bet that 1/3 of the 1911's carried are older than that.
But the truth is that guns, unlike other mechanical objects,,,
Traditionally have a much longer shelf life.
I own a revolver made in 1903 that I would trust to defend my life.
