Although this has probably done in the past, like virtually every topic known to mankind, do you have a gun that has special meaning that you could never part with? Just one.
Although I have a 1918 Colt 1911 with all original parts that I am very fond of, partly because it would have been the kind my grandfather used in WW1 in France, the winner is a 1943 Colt 1911A1 with matching serial #s on receiver and slide. It's all original, but somebody refinished it at some point long ago. It also has other features I like, such as the checkered back strap and wide hammer.
