Nice, and very nice finish. I'm still looking for a set of 11 row stocks for mine.

And 2 Springfield mags - a bonus.

A very rare pistol

[Duane Hansen]

Thanks for sharing the pictures of your Springfield 1911 with us. They are always a treat to look at. Very Nice....

[Scott Gahimer]

Hammer doesn't appear to be correct in the photo...looks too short. A better picture perhaps? Thanks.

[Johnny P]

I think it is the angle of the photo that makes it look too short, but is correct. Really nice except where Bubba tried to pry and beat the slide stop out, and unscrew the magazine catch lock.

1563621, I hate you!! :(

[1563621]

Rick, I have been waiting for this one to come up for sale for 2 years. I can't believe the cond. and all correct. I have posted some of my 03s on CMP also, But none compare to yours! Dave

Now I have a question for those in the know. Please refer to my attached pic. 1914 SA #83355. The area in question is the angled portion of the slide directly below the SEPT date, just forward of the receiver. It is much more gradual than most I have seen. It's the same on both sides. Thoughts?

Refinished and buffed hard in that area. Might not even be a 1914 slide. The 1915-1917 slides don't turn down as abruptly, but even they turn down more than the one shown.

I set out to get three firearms I have always wanted ... 1) a Lend Lease (1941) M1 Garand; 2) an original low numbered Rock Island 1903. the last one is a Springfield M1911. Doesn't have to be perfect, or even beautiful - zero to little finish would be fine - just correct/original.

[1563621]

A Marine friend of mine, Spent some time @ the chosin, Showed me a Garand he had. All correct for a lend-lease, except a newer stock. He had gone to a gunsmith years ago. My friend did not know the value. Smith said, "I will put a nicer stock on for you" End of story!

[1563621]

Rick, I will keep my eyes open for you! Dave

Anyone give me a price point for this SA?

My 80,xxx range Springfield has a pretty sharp downturn.

In that condition, all correct, $2500+ or even ++

[1563621]

Mine is the original #107571 in first post. I bought it a few years ago and was offered blue book 85%=3500. I feel all orig and matching should be a little more. Maybe I will look for some trades also. Thanks.

I think that $3500 to $4500 would be close as far as a value goes. I would jump on it for the $2500 mentioned......

I guess I'm behind the times. I saw a similar condition SA go for $2500 early last year.....
