I'm a WWII 1911A1 collector and have an almost perfect Ithaca. Your restoration looks just like mine with the exception of the missing P and FJA stamp which as you said the customer could have had those replaced. I learned a lot about what can be done with 1911's that have pitting and other dam...
Yeah the music sucks but what happened to cause this Anaconda to explode is my question? I've got an Anaconda so I'd like to know what not to do.
