Milsurp After Hours

Here for your enjoyment are a few photos of my Government Model 1911 made in 1921. It came with a 1944-dated Boyt Holster inscribed with the owner's name/rank and serial number (assume it's US Army): Lt/Maj H. Michaels 01039471. It's shown with reproduction box and vintage box of Wincheter 230-grain .45 ACP ammo adapted to the Government Model. Per Colt Archive letter this pistol was 1 of 10 shipped to Schoverling, Daly & Gales NY. NY on February 16, 1921. Are there any on-line resources to trace the service number or WWII officers?

and another fine example of the 1911 , these commercial versions were certainly beautiful pieces , no war time rush in that production
