Possible Les Baer from SA's Custom???
So I just picked up a 1989 SA 1911A1 and called in the serial # at SA to find out I have a Trophy Match 1911 in amazing condition. (Still on the way to me from NV) I expect to pick it up from my FFL tmrw and will post a pic then. Meanwhile I have some questions Im hoping someone on here can clarify with the limited info I have now below. SKU PI9601
This pistol has "sort of" M1911 style sights. Not quite Novak but they are 3 dot
It has an unreal brushed blue finish so its deff carbon steel not SS.
It has an alum adjust able trigger
Lowered ejection port
Plain Double diamond walnut grips
NM Serial (Obviously)
It looks like the barrel is dipped maybe?? The hood is bright but the barrel is Blk
Cross Canons behind the ejection port
Springfield Armory Roll mark starts centered under port
Arched & back strap with vertical grooves
Mag release vertically grooved to match slide serrations
generously radius'd arch (colt shoulder) front end of slide
Why is this pistol so different than other Trophy 1911's from Springfield pre-90's
Would this have been a Les pistol and the possibly SA's custom shop had variation there's little record of now?
Although a keeper in my book Im out of pocket just over $400 for this pistol; apprx value if the barrel is original? Im told it is but I have put my hands on it yet.
Thanks for the input. Its unfortunate SA didn't have much more info on the pistol but I cant imagine their necessity for records would meet any 1911 enthusiast's line up of questions
