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.

This old warrior just says to me, "I have been there and done that many times"......I accept that definition. Only time and action can produce that patina.
