1911 North American #5

Fortunate to find this beauty. It was used in Clawson's big book as a reference for the North American model.

Another beauty!

Where does one find something like that?

[gbethu]

I purchased it from a dealer I met at the Ohio Gun Collector's show in Cleveland recently.

If you don't mind me asking, of what price area are we talking about here?

How about a pic of the RIGHT side of the frame . . . Just above the trigger? --Jim

looks like a K stamped above the trigger. Sorry still learning my camera.

You can see the same view on page 203, figure 6-29 Clawson's Colt .45 Service Pistols (the big book).

I seem to remember that the North American Arms guns had problems with their finish flaking off with time. Even the one kept under glass in a museum in Canada has this problem with it. But this one looks great. Thanks with sharing it with all of use as it's such a rare treat to see one.
