Our member, Niemi24 (Dan) was kind enough to clean up the patent document for Browning's 1911 pistol and send it to us, so that all members can view it. Dan did an excellent job at improving the document's readability, so we thank him (and his sons) for their work.
Here is a link to the document: Browning's patent document
