And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Doughboy with 1911
I wonder where that pistol is now? Valuable for sure.
No believe it or not, that 1911 in 90% condition will probably bring less than a new Kimber. .45's like all other antique firearms just aren't brining the big money they were five years ago. Everybody wants a "modern" firearm. But just try and sell an "antique" and watch the lowballs start.---Ray
I've got a Colt 1911 US Army made somewhere between Oct. 24, 1918 to April 10, 1919. I'll email you a picture of it, but please don't share. It's my precious. Not in bad shape to be almost 100 years old!

ReplyDeleteI'd think that old 1911 would be way more desirable, but that's just me. I love em with character.
