I'll admitI was surprised when it went above 70K but the market place speaks. Extra nice example for anyone without a two digit example.....Condition was original but far from mint. I guess we all...

I agree 100% with Scott's statement "However, given the choice of an incorrect barrel or a replaced, correct barrel, I would see correcting a pistol. That's all I meant to say. gordon

dokcop, there are different views on the proper way to restore/configure your M1911. As was noted by a previous poster (a well known dealer and expert) , he advocates not installing the proper...

Looks like it ran out of gas a week ago for $ 9,005.

Mike. I bet not. The 1913 at Julia's or the one at Morphy's last year were the 20K range condition. Just a guess. Obviously those of us with many Navy M1911s hope you're correct.

Doesn't get any better that this !!!! Great mementos

wow...nice history. you must be proud.

Collector will pay top dollar for original early marked barrels Horizontal H P or earlier H with or without serifs. Thanks Gordon email gordon@gb1partners.com

with all respect, I don't think so. Save your money and find something all original.

mixmaster. the last US Navy marked slide was serial number 110,000.

if that's original finish, it's one of the nicest existing. WOW !!!! good for you. Beautiful.

Very well reasoned and well said. We all value things differently. If it was my Dad's gun carried in the first wave in Normandy then all the convential metrics for value go out the window. If you...

I do understand....and I get your point about overpaying for any pistol. I currently own a 10K and a 12K version of the 1924 M1911, They are both 90-95%, (the 12K may be 98%) original...

I disagree . It was a $5000 pistol that sold for $8555. You were correct.

JP, he notes that earlier slide stop. Your opinion, is the barrel correct ? Can not discern K marking although the intertwined HP is present.

Learned from another chat board that Steve Moeller, aka The Wizard, passed away last week. Steve was unequaled in ability to refinish the M1911 and other collectible firearms. He rivaled the well...

I've found them on e bay. You can also ask the dealers who list early 1911 parts there if they have one and haven't listed it. They are out there.

I've learned that 1938s are particularily desirable M1911A-1s I had one verfied by Troy Partin, an expert who owns probably the best examle known before I bought it at RIAC. Troy, unlike some...

A 1938 M1911 with a serial number indicating it went to the USN sold today at James Julia for $54,000. It's estimate was for $3,000 to 4,000 It was about an 85% condition pistol. The times are...

Troy, as I wrote, I inadvertently posted the wrong photos for number 10's barrel. You must be correct as you probably have the most discerning eye of any collector. Of all the paticipants on this...

Thanks DSK. That's the way I think about all the rare 1911s I own. Everybody has a zit on them somewhere but we won't probably kick them out of bed about it.... Funny though, I put 39's barrel...

not found in SRS for M1911. Sorry

Rob, no marks at all anwehere. Used a 10x loop.

I inadvertently loaded the photos I use for reference of the barrel of serial No 39, Chuck Clawson's gun. Sorry. I'll get photos of #10 , 88 and 92 after I return from vacation Sorry for the mix...

Sorry for the duplicate photos but I can't remove them without starting over. No markings that I could see.
