Found this WWI gem at a local pawn shop recently.
Springfield 1911 DOB March 1915
Still cleaning as internals were caked in cosmoline and not coming apart easily.
So far parts are mixed but appears to be a post WWI rebuild with WWI parts.
Gun was not in the shop case but never hurts to ask if the shop has any old stuff stuck around.
This is what he brought out and it went home with me.
A pic for your viewing.
