Another 1911 Find

I had a stainless Colt 1991A1 back some years ago. It's a very accurate pistol.

Recently, read an article on "Man at Arms" which talks about "Black Army 1911" (WWI wartime finish). It's very interesting.

The remington rand in the picture, every part on it except the frame is from my issued pistol, including the mags, so you see why i have such strong feelings about this old slab sides. took me nearly thirty years to find the correct and near matching frame, and it is only two numbers off the original serial number. Of course i never ever stop looking for the remington rand i once carried. But two numbers off is not bad. So how did i get the rest of the parts, easy ,as an armor i just swaped them for another set and turned it in as a rebuild. Put the original parts up for thirty years or so till the right frame came along and thats the results. sounds easy doesn't it/ It wasn't.
