RE: A 1911,
When I was an MP in the ARMY I had two different M-1911's issued to me. One was made by Singer Sewing machine and another by COLT.

For real, When were you a mp? I have seen and handled one, My greatgrand father worked at the plant in new jersey where the were stamped. He received a few unstamped units that was handed do to his boys, My grandfather still has his. But other wise they only produced 500 units I think that were produced for the military.

In total, 500 serialised pistol were produced in 1940 and these days, an excellent, genuine example of one could fetch in excess of $25 000.
