Poster's Note: The serial number indicates a 1943 manufacture by Colt. The severe damage leads me to believe the soldier that was carrying this 1911A1 didn't live to tell it's story.

After today, it's all historical.
Yeah, I doubt the soldier carrying this survived. It was probably quick and they didn't know what hit them.
I am sure there are many similar artifacts from WWII. And yes, it this 1911 got that messed up, you know the poor soldier carrying it got worse... a reminder to us all the sacrifices our grandfathers made to keep our freedoms and liberties secure.
And our brothers and sons are doing it today -right now for all of us.
Lest we forget.

I tried to push the envelope, but found that it was stationery.
Have you heard about the new corduroy pillows? They're making head lines!
