Lucky dog, wish I had had been given that opportunity to purchase our 1911's especially at that price, yeah it was a 'bit' of a steal you got there alright, damn!
I have a new reissue Colt Series 70 Govt which is a very faithful repro but still really jonesin for what I carried when I served. They were worn and beat up after decades of hard service but still dependable as quality autos today.
