[QUOTE="CharlieWH2O, post: 3266749, member: 10021"] I'm not sure it is fake but it certainly is pieced together. The 1911 had a longer trigger than the A1, flat mainspring housing, and a shorter hammer tang. I can't see if there is a relief cut on the left side on the frame aft of the trigger guard as there would be on the A1? It certainly didn't have a dot on the front sight and the rear sight looks much newer. I can't read the serial number. It could be a pre A1 frame with a newer slide. No reason they wouldn't go together I can think of. [/QUOTE]
