Well, give us the story and we'll help you decideHere's a 1911 that was issued in 1942 @ Hickam Field, HI. Has an interesting back story, not too sure if I fully believe it.
Had an uncle who tended to be a little on the windy side. He was Navy during WWII, and said they came across a life raft on a patrol. Turned out to be a B-17 crew who had ditched in the middle of no where. Unfortunately, they found them too late and one of the crew members was wearing this 1911.Well, give us the story and we'll help you decide

Believing it depends on if he was the kinda guy to collect arms from a body...unless that was common.Had an uncle who tended to be a little on the windy side.

Aircrew generally had .38 revolvers, but trades and purchases happened all the time. Weapons from dead were routinely collected, and rebuilt as required, including those surplus parts guns in the closet.Believing it depends on if he was the kinda guy to collect arms from a body...unless that was common.
The story of the plane would be interesting, too.
