    103 years ago today....

    This Model 1911 pistol was one of 1000 guns, serial numbers 144051-145050, shipped to the Commanding Officer, Ordnance Depot, Manila The Philippines. I think it still looks pretty good for it's age.

              Nice 1917 Colt 1911. Here is mine 1917 Colt 1911. My serial is 1352 lower than yours. Someday I get a Colt letter to figure out when mine was shipped.

                          If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?
