I have a Springfield 1911 .45 Mil-Spec with a serial number that may or may not be significant to a collector.
It is new, never fired and when I took it to a county range I hesitated to shoot it because of it's serial number.
It is: WW2 1776
Notice that the first part is an era that is a historically momentous period in America's history, World War 2.
And of course, 1776 an equally important date in our history.
So, for the knowledgeable people here. Is it a collector's piece based on the serial number? Or should I just go ahead and fire away?
btw, when I picked it up at the dealer the salesman said that a customer had just bought a similar gun with the serial number WW2 1911. The dealership offered to buy back the gun for $1,000. The owner declined.
Any opinions?
Thanks all
Eddie
