[QUOTE="Leggett71, post: 3697287, member: 13456"] Interesting video I'm of a different mindset than what was presented. In my mind he devalued the 1911A1 by reparking it. The value of the armory rebuild was lost and the existing finish on the 1911A1 appeared to be in very good condition. Trying to make the finishes match in IMHO should not have been done and in the end the slide & frame were different steel grades did not end up with the same finish. The WWII 1911A1 he illustrated has a history with the stampings noted and in my collecting I would value that history and differing finishes that is typical of the WWII and after rebuilds. All the internals, slide & frame appeared to be in good shape. Myself, I would have kept the 1911A1 as it is and it's rebuild history intact. Besides it is a different collecting challenge to find 1911's from each of the arsenals & allied rebuilders and they are typically a bit less costly to collect than museum pieces. Leggett71 [/QUOTE]
