The 1911 may be full auto. There were a number of them turned out by gangland gunsmiths in the 1930s. The lower attachment may be an extended magazine with grip wrapped around it for control. I have seen other examples with a front grip added like a 1921 Thompson. .

I see nothing there that wouldn't look good in my safe.......of course with the proper paperwork.

I saw a show on the Military channel called "Rich and Will's Top 10 Shootouts" and they had one of those very one's you speak of, a full auto 1911 with the front grip & the extended magazine (20 round I think). They said that Baby face Nelson used one. They also demonstrated it, very cool!

are there period silencers out there for grabs?

Period suppressors are on the collector market, such as original Maxim Suppressors, but they have a very narrow collector interest. A modern suppressor is going to be much more effective and many early models are currently replicated.
