In fact you can see it. Sorry for highjacking the thread.

Interesting gun and nice pictures,
I used to collect 1911, now I've got only two of them left.
Augusta Arsenal was one of the I think 14 arsenals where they reworked many M1911A1.
Although a bit less valuable than a M1911A1 in original configuration, these guns are absolutely legitimate U.S. service pistols.
