Gentelmen.
I read a couple day's ago, where ya'll answered a question for a man, concerning his 1911 date of manufacter.
I am hoping one of you will show me the same courtsey.
about 15 years ago I bought a 1911 .45. I had assumed it was a WWII production, as the slide was marked ITHICA. A few years ago, I was shooting this pistol, at our local range, when a man walked over, and asked to look at my pistol. He looked it over, and told me I had ruined the gun, by putting a Ithica slide, on a early frame, and blueing it. I heard him out, and explained that I had bought it this way. I asked him why He thought it was a early 1911. and he told me , because of the serial #, and that there were no scallop's behind the trigger guard.
My question is : my pistol has a serial #C87129. Can one of you gent's tell me, when my pistol, was produced?
Thank's in advance
