To me, old 1911's with that "lived in look" are as beautiful as road worn vintage guitars.
Congrats.

Nice. Particularly like milled trigger. I believe colt went to the stamped trigger designed by Ithaca in 1944?

Yes, 1944.
Now I'm on the lookout for a $$$US&S$$$
I'll go ahead and write off the singer.

Very nice gun. I also really want a US&S 1911. They were made about 45mins away, so they have a special meaning to me. They also command big bucks too.
Maybe they should call these Lend, Lease, Release guns?

Thanks guys. It's hard to stop at just one of these. The US&S may be above my pain threshold for a single gun purchase.
I may set my sights lower at an early Remington rand with the different rollmark.

Very nice addition and over all collection. Every one needs a 1911 or 1911a1.

Here are my three 1911A1s:
1. Colt.
2. Remington-Rand.
3. Ithaca.
I don't have a Singer or US&S. With the prices they bring today, I doubt I ever will.
