Back in 1977 my next door neighbor had a collection of 1911s (about 30 ) he was an older gentleman I remember going to his house and looking at all the guns in a kitchen cabinet when he passed away his daughter come from New York to sell his house and she didn't like guns a took them to a police station ( I only learned about it after I come home from work) after that I didn't sleep good for alone time.

Jim Scoutten's voice is like a fine wine. It just gets better with age.

Brings me back to being a kid in the early 90s ( born 84) when he would be on ESPN Saturday mornings talking about guns.

If I discovered my grandfather’s battle carried 1911 was a Singer and worth a fortune I still wouldn’t sell it. Some things are worth more than money, keep it in the family and pass it down as a link between past and present.

It would be so amazing to see one of those Singers in person.

I used to have an m1 carbine with an IBM action and a General Motors barrel

I have 3 old 1911's..love em!!!

Awesome.

At least one met its fate with Capt.Crunch at Anniston Alabama in the mid 90s. Sad but true.

amazing

Love my twin 1911's

The 1911 is a master piece I remember my granddaddy had a Remington Rand filthy as hell clean it up took the rusty spring out of the magazine and cleaned it up and it shot like new money. The new technology of mim parts doesn't work as it should in the newer models so beware of what you buy.

Nicee

A lilttle more on the photos of the pistol side of the story would have been nice.

RIP Mr. Scoutten. He and Paul Harvey are my favorite personality voices. I bet these 1911 run like a sewing machine. I know, I know but I had to say it.

Well, my wife has a Featherweight machine. If only I had the pistol.

What if a 1911 has no marks at all ?

If you’re referring to a WW2 1911a1, it means it’s likely a “lunch pail gun”. Something assembled at home by a factory worker who smuggled out the parts one by one in his or her lunch pail. Those can be quite collectible themselves so long as all the parts are original.
