That 1911A1 of yours looks great. Congratulations Sergio.
PS. More than great it looks brand new. Amazing for a 1943 pistol. My 1911A1. Mostly Ithaca but with a Remington frame, was rebuilt in Augusta Arsenal in the 50s and looks like it went through WWII, Korea and Vietnam before it found it's way into my hands.

Arsenal rebuilds are sought after by many collectors now, they represent a page of the US history.

Most collectors would frown at its battered look.

I was shocked to find, while measuring barrel/muzzle diameters last night, that I have seven 1911-style handguns!
 Three Colt-Hartford, two 38 Super, one each Argentine and Brazilian army, one with rib, three with collet bushings, one Gold Cup, two Series 70, one Commander, and an assortment of accessory caliber barrels, sometimes on, sometimes boxed. There's only one I shoot with any regularity: the Gold Cup.  I gotta clean out my safe.
