This 1911 has always been in my family. I'm 56 and my late father gave it to me. I believe it was his Dad's. I'm assuming it's gotta be near 100 years old. I'm more of a M1 Carbine, Garand, and...

I bought a couple early mag catches from them about 15 or 16 years ago. My opinion is what I bought were reproductions. They offered me my money back. Again, this was many years ago.
