A 1911 U.S. Navy Colt from the USS MINNESOTA

[John Holbrook]

This is one of my favorite Navy Colts since I can identify it with an individual. Lt. Bush was the Communications Officer on the USS MINNESOTA until it was scrapped in the early 1920's.

I found the hand receipt folded up in the bottom of the holster. I acquired the rig from his daughter-in-law in Seattle several years ago......
