John<hr /></blockquote>This is far and away the best book on the military .45s, and it is available.

Your colection pic's just get better and better. I would like to ask a favor, would you remember me in your will.

Darn nice sir!!!!!! I just love collections like these. I'm not really a 1911 fanatic, (I still like 'em though), but that's really a nice set.

John D. and all

I spent some time surfin' the web and found this link for the reference book above:
http://www.coolgunsite.com/

If their book offer is still valid, it's an attractive deal. The order form had some frontpage errors?

, so I sent him an email.
I'll be waiting and hoping for mine! <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" />

Mr. Holbrook, thanks for the sharing great photo's and wealth of information. Looks like this fella is in your part of the country. <img border="0" alt="[bigbye]" title="" src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" />

Regards,
Fritz.
