This is a 1917ish 1911 GI gun which needed some TLC. It recieved a complete overhaul and inspection. The finish was poor, but the metal was great, no pitting at all, just a few minor scratches. The client wanted it reblued in memory of his great grandfather who originally onwed the Colt. The barrel was clean and bright. New bushings and grip screws were all the parts that were needed. The barrel crown had a ding which I took care of with the lathe. Great Memorial Day piece.
