New shots with the 1943 Enger-Kress M3 shoulder holster.

Accompanied by my 1903 Springfield!

Through the years I've had a lot of nice military 1911s and 1911A1s.

The nicest of them all was a Remington 1911A1 that was issued when new to a gentleman that was in a military supply unit.
He never fired the pistol, as a matter of fact he never cleaned the cosmoline out of it and it was still in the green plastic bag it was shipped in.

I'm now in procession of two Colts a 1911 (in the picture) and a 1911A1 that unfortunately someone blued and stippled the front strap and mainspring housing.

Also in the picture is several other military items including a box of 45 ACP ball ammo.

I'd be interested to know what you paid for it. I bought one several years ago for $1200 and I've always suspected that I over paid. I've been looking since then and haven't found a better one for less though.
