The one that will be last to go is this "United States Property" marked 1911. It came to me through DCM sales in 1961. An uncle gave me the old wood grips to replace the plastic ones Rock Island put on it when they rebuilt/refinished it. I carried it with me every where the Army would allow, and perhaps, maybe, a couple of places it didn't. It served me well. It was built to be a soldier's sidearm, and, even though both of us have long since been retired, it remains one.
