WWII 1911s are collectors items, and depending on their condition, can be quite valuable. Make sure he doesn't, nor you, refinish the gun or do anything like that. |

Making a firearm into a personalized work of art appeals to me. I think a lot of the things that you see on the internet are stupid--macho designs, death designs. They do not reflect my values. Peace, rule of law, respect, brotherhood, family, non-violence--these are my values. |

Interesting, I didn't know they could be so valuable. Thanks for the heads up.

I've learned a thing or two about black rifles along the way as well. Not an expert by any means, but I have a general idea of things to look for and things to avoid. Including alternate calibers.

For you that are uninitiated, let me add that the 1911 was designed and created by a Mormon gunmaker, the most famous and most important American gunmaker of them all--John Moses Browning. It is only appropriate that the gun have Mormon regalia and symbology.
