John, Jim Oldfield was my Department Chair at OSU in the mid 70's. I have great admiration for the man so please let me know should you decide to let his pistol travel down the road. Thanks.

I'm missing something...who is Jim Oldfield?

When I knew him, Dr. Oldfield was a gentleman's gentleman and a world-class scientist.

Excellent WWI Colts with great histories; thanks for sharing!

I tend to collect guns with histories, otherwise their just guns......

Here is the Colt M1911 A1 I was given by a Marine Captain in 'Nam and it certainly has a combat history. Talk about the right gun at the right place, at the right time in the right hands!
