Colt 1911 Restoration by Thor

I meant to mention I got some good guidance on restoring these pistols from the late Mr Bill Adair. I seem to remember he passed on in 2009. He told me what equipment to get and what to do with these pistols. I ended up working on some of his restorations that he did not want to do the metal work on like really bad broomhandle Mauser pistols. He did all my engraving touch up of markings and he specialized in Colt Pistols and did some Luger work. I now have a great engraving restorer that I am blessed with his work, Mr Brian Powley of Brian Powley Engravers.
