New-to-me GSG M1911, just got it today!
Yeah, that's a nice looking 1911 AND it's gotta' be a fun plinker. All that adds up to my having to get one for myself.
Got it from a fellow INGO'er with a low 200 or so round count on it, was hoping to grab some ammo and shoot Wednesday, but forgot a doc appointment and had a surprise prescription (an expensive one) come up, so kind of in a holding pattern at the moment...
This is my favorite gun......I have the letter my dad wrote to my mother in April 1945 from "somewhere in Germany" in which he described making the grips from the side window of a downed airplane.
That is so cool and quite the family heirloom! Do you happen to have any more pics? That is one handsome 1911.
A small sampling of my original (Seattle) Detonics Combat Masters.
Of the the first 250 made, LN/99.5% condition (possibly unfired?)
Un-catalogued factory made custom gun for a Detonics executive, no slide engravings, no model marks. This gun is a cross between a MK V and a MK VI, so I guess its a MK V.V
Mark IV:
Rare 9mm version (less than 350 total guns were made in 9mm) this is a top of the line MK VI
Rare 9mm version of the MK V
45acp version of the MK VI
45acp version of the MC
very rare 38 Super version of the MC (less than 250 made of all versions)
When my 401(k) recoupes, I will buy 1/10th of the collection you have - if it ever recovers.
