XCR1250 Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 Many years ago a local old guy here sold me his 1911 for $100, he was dying from Cancer and wanted it to go to someone he knew. I believe he got it when he was in the Army years earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I collect them and have 2 of similar age. Worth 500 to 1000 dollars and have never been rusted as bad as that one. Still very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re ok, but the sig 10mm is a better all around piece for me. It is rather awe inspiring that the design of the 1911 still makes it a modern piece.
