First M1911 issued to the USMC

[gbethu]

War horse serial 3501. Shows hard wear through two World Wars.

Now there is a gun that the speculation of restoration or a simple re-blue are out of the question. Old and somewhat worn but significantly important and rare.

Nice job...

Well done Gordon.

You must be the envy of every Gyreen. There can be only one first issued gun.

Great find. Pike scratched on the slide makes me think of The Wild Bunch!

Buddy scratched "Jihad" (ironic) on his M4 stock and another "Justice" into the stock of his sniper rifle..
