Here is my Argentine 1911. This was one used by local police according to the stamp on the slide.
This pistol was made in 1960 according to the serial number. When I got it there was no finish left on it. It was all matching numbers and was in need of a lot of work. I decided to make it a bit of a custom shooter. I went thru it and replaced all the springs and a couple of broken pins. The original trigger was bent so I put in a custom one. With a little bit of stone work and a new barrel bushing It is a nice shooter now.
I sprayed it with HK Black and OD green Dura coat and I am happy with the finish. I also installed factory Colt rubber grips I picked up years ago. Its kind of a Wilson Combat color finish. I'm not sure if I am going to get into this pistol any more, I have a couple others to work on.
