New 1911 P-08. Seeking opinions....

Reed, it's a shame about the chrome/nickel finish as the gun seems to have been in excellent condition at the time the deed was done. I have a brother to your 1911, it's serial number 3268e and grip strap marked B.1.A.F.1.13.

Hi George,
So neat. The two were in same regiment and only 2 batteries apart. I am assuming that a "battery" was a single field artiliary piece. So our two pieces were likely in line of sight of each other during the heat of battle.
I just love knowing the history of these old relics.
Thanks for your input.
Regards
Reed
