Ordinarily I'd agree, but with the mix on 1911 and 1911A1 parts on that, it wasn't original to begin with.


Here's my RAF-issued 1919 W-Series British Contract in .455 Webley Auto, all matching and original:




And here's my 1943 GI Colt, all matching and original except for the two-tone mag which is for a 1911, not an A1. The round in the picture is an original 1943 Canadian military cartridge (we issued 4000 of them to paratroopers and commandos during the war).
