Real WWII 1911

[Anchors]

I saw an old thread on THR about them going for $650-$800 back in 2003 (too bad I was 14).

How much do they go for these days with original parts?
(not necessarily numbers matching, just no replacement barrels and stuff).

Anybody here got one? Pics?

Prices will vary depending on condition, parts maker, if it has been refinished, to many variables to give pricing
$1000.00 on up to several thousand of $$$$
Remington Rand, has been refinished (not a very good picture)

Nice.
That is still rad.
The cheapest maker is fine with me.
I would prefer not refinished, but that pistol looks awesome anyway.

You just said rad. Rad!

That pistol does look pretty cool.

Most 1911's will have been rearsenal finished. If you find a original with correct parts and original finish you will pay a premium

The prices just keep going up---the pictured 1941 Colt(with all its original parts) is blue,just
prior to the start of parkerizing,it is a Colt and US PROPERTY marked--I
would estimate the value over $3000. Pete

And what does a SKS have to do with a post about the greatest handgun ever?

Probably just wanted to show off its stunning non sequitur finish.

Your pictures aren't showing up.

I wouldn't mind a post-war arsenal re-park job on it.
Just don't want something that was restored by a person many years after the war ended.

Posted in the "rarest handgun you own" thread.

Carried during WWII by my Grandfather.

Beautiful.

crack kills bro

On a side note I got to shoot a ww2 1911 that had once been used to kill a german sniper that tried to kill my friends grandfather

It shot ok.

I want one so bad.
I wish there was something cool like that in my family.

My dad has some old Colt .32 revolver that belonged to my great grandpa.
I think he called it a Colt Pocket.
It is cool, but it's no WWII 1911.
