So I got my first 1911 and learning some of the history of the piece (not to mention the history of the man who carried it) I am still awe struck. But I'm a little lost in tracking down her exact manufacture date. The serial number starts with the letter c if I punch it in to the site with the c, it comes back with no results. If I punch the number in without the c it comes back with a date of 1915. A guy at a local gun shop says she was made in 1921. She has features of both a1 and pre a1, so I'm not sure. I know she's old tho. The piece is amazing with one small problem, the hook broke off of the extractor. My second question for the experts is, did the extractors change any over the last century and will replacing it reduce her value (no, she's not for sale). Any input is greatly appreciated.
