    Here is my friend's collectible 1911. I know nothing about it except that it's very gold, and very shiny.

    Nice! 3 different war-time periods represented right there.

    That Tet gun is way outta my league.

    Sheesh. What? Do you have hundreds of handguns stashed in random places or something? Why did it take you an hour to find it?

    Haha, you know I don't.

    An hour of looking through a few years of photos.

    Very nice!!! Was briefly interested in an M45 but they are very collectible!

    With no rebuild marks (that I can see) that might be even more interesting. I thought most of the M1911A1s were rebuilt going into VN.

    There are guys on the 1911 boards that know everything and could probably tell you.

    Slides below Colt serial 11400001-1145000 should be stamped with the serial under the firing pin plate. Rebuilt guns are seldom numbers matching.

    I had to look up the number again, it is 164xxxx. Websites say 1944 production I guess.
