The US&S M1911a1 is one of the most rare in existence. I think only the Singer pistols are fewer in number.

Do you have the original grips?

"The Switch" is still in business in Pittsburgh, PA, a subsidiary now of an Italian company recently purchased by Hitachi. They make railroad signaling systems. I have a friend that works there...

I guess it's full circle that a Japanese company would own the company that made the M1911a1 pistols we used to win WW-II...
