Pretty cool story. Scroll down the first few posts on the forum for more pics and info.


quote:

THIS COLT M1911A1 WAS SHIPPED TO SPRINGFIELD ARMORY IN OCTOBER 1944. IT WAS SUBSEQUENTLY TRANSFERRED TO THE U.S. NAVY AND WAS ISSUED TO COMMANDER CHARLES M. REDDING. CDR. REDDING DID NOT USE OR CARRY THIS COLT, AND SO IT REMAINS NEW IN IT'S ORIGINAL BOX WITH ALL ACCESSORIES.

The capitalist in me is dying to know what something like that would cost... but being as there truly is no source to purchase another like it the term "priceless" comes to my mind.

terrible...

That would be an amazing gun to have in the collection.... I bet it'd still shoot great, but I guess being 60+ years unfired, you should probably keep it that way for maintaining value.
