A family member recently recovered a 1911 through a long complex will and estate fiasco and sent me some photos...
Condition is fairly rough and I'm trying to determine if it's a commercial or military model. Serial number 4060 puts it as a 1912 production model in a lot of 700 between a USMC and a USN contract.
Any 1911 aficionados have any ideas on origins?
The gun has seen a hard life since 1912- homemade replacement grips, a GI barrel sometime in the 1970s and being abandoned in an attic for 30 years took its toll. It's a neat old piece.
Pics forthcoming...
