I have a cherry 1911A1 US Army made in 1943 - Colt all original. You wouldn’t want to pay for what I’d have to charge you for it. Whatever you buy, get some good mags for it. The cheapo 7 shot mags are crap. Get some good Combats, or similar...makes an old gun function like new if the firing pin works and it’ll recoil right....

I think I speak for many when I say “PHOTOS PLEASE”.

Glad you mentioned a warning on bad magazines. The two free Springfield magazines that came with my gun are horrible and when unloaded, the plate (forgot the proper term) wiggles. Haven't had a jam, but they are strictly for plinking and I would never bet my life on them. Kimber and Wilson work just fine though

“I have a cherry 1911A1 US Army made in 1943 - Colt all original.”
I have one built in the same year by Ithaca, stamped “U.S. ARMY” on the side, my Dad bought it for $40 back in the sixties from a guy who liberated it at war’s end. I don’t have any intention of selling it, but would be curious what it’s worth in excellent condition.
