The gun is now in the hands of Turnbull Manufacturing for a restoration and return to original condition. Watch for an article in Sep-Oct, 2011.

Dirigibles have long gone, but John Browning's legacy lives on. Neat history.

You got a nice gift there, Meteormagnent. I would like to find a holster set up like that for my Dad's 45 (shown in this part 1).Very, very nice piece.

The accessory rail/nose piece on the top Para 1911 looks interesting. Can you share where you obtained it?

An honorable legacy. I'm sure your father would be proud. Well done.

The very first time I picked up a government issue 45 I pointed it down range with my eyes closed and when I opened them the sights were setting on the bullseye. That right there told me it was the gun for me.

Welcome Home, brother. I served with the 7th Marines in RVN. I wish I could have found a way to bring back my 1911.

I think that you mean "faux" ivory grips ... meaning not real ... a "faux pas" means a mistake. It's a beautiful gun ... no mistake about that!

It seems as though target sights have been added, which will most likely decrease it's value.

I also have a PT1911. It's the same model I was issued in 1972 USMC. I likd it then and now. I have other ACP's but 1911 is favorite.

That's one beautiful pistol. Never heard of Kobra, you guys should do an article on this manufacturer. Like the money clip too!

When I was a young man I worked in The Sportsmans' Center in Springfield, IL. When Colt raised the retail price of a Government Model from $82.50 to $90 I ordered one for myself, paying $70 dealer cost including shipping and taxes. That gun was modified by myself over the years with a set of King 109 sights, a Videki trigger, a target bushing and a lowered and flared port and a polished and throated ramp and barrel. My youngest son, now 30, has that gun and I have a newer SA 1911 which is a better shooter but lacks that deep Colt blue. I carry a steel Colt Officer's ACP daily, I bought it about 30 years ago in anticipation of Kansas passing shall issue concealed carry. It has sights by Richard Heinie and a modified recoil system. I have added MUESCHKE ambi safety and a beavertail. The original black phosphate finish is worn, someday I'll have it I'll have it refinished.
