Picked up this nice condition all numbers matching Argentine Sistema 1911A1. Serial number indicates 1952 as year of manufacture...

Is that the one the guy was walking around with trying to sell?

Yes Sir Jim, that was the Guy.

I looked at it LEO and it was a nice example but IMO overpriced. Hopefully he came down for you.

Beautiful condition, Leo. Congrats.
I have an Argentine Air Force model that has been modified.

I used to have one, been a long time since I have seen one.

 

[LEO918]

I've been looking for the right one of these for a long time. Have found a couple in the past that were re-parked and had import marks that didn't suit me. I think the guys feet were getting tired toward the end of the day and he lowered his asking price considerably.

How much are they going for these days!

Oh geez, that's a beauty! A birth year gun for me. I woulda jumped all over that one. Nice score!!

They are getting harder to find in stock condition. Love mine that I bought in the mid 80's. Mine had the stock/issued black plastic grips, don't recall walnut or wood on the military issued ones.

Great looking example!
