Cigar Box

Roadkill · 01-24-2013, 09:02 PM

A long time ago a cigar box was the perfect place for odds and ends and trivia that while not usually valuable was still worth retaining. Well, I'd been asking about a certain cigar box for a while. It had been passed from relative to relative and I thought it was gone. But I was wrong.

(1911 Colt, original finish and magazines. Mfg year 1918)

I like 1911's

Thanks for the kind words - I'm taking it and a couple of other 1911A1s out tomorrow for a range trip. This gun and my Remington Rand are completely original. I want to see how they shoot in comparison to my Series 80 Colt. Also have a couple of Browning High Powers I want to shoot against a couple of CZs.

What a nice set Randall! Wish I still had my 1911 Colt. Sold it to an old employer who was worried about break in's on his farm.
