My pride and joy- 1911 and 1908 Vest pocket
I picked up the 1916 manufactured Colt 1911 from my friend who moved to Oz. Too much hassle to bring guns in to Oz and he being a US citizen married to an Aussie gal, well, he sold his collection. His loss my gain! Only 4200 or so Colt 1911s were made in 1916.
The 2nd pistol is a Colt 1908 Vest pocket made in 1919, the year that the MOST 1908 Vest pockets were made. I picked this up with a low bid at Rock Island Auction recently. I was really surprised the low bid held!
I shoot them, they're not safe queens.
