I found myself an old 1911 but have no clue what I got.

Old race guns never die........ I think that pistol predates Bill Wilson's operation by a few years. It is VERY cool.

Bill Wilson started commercial gunsmithing in 1977.
Not saying he worked on this one, but he was there.

The hole is used to stake the front sight on ---if you don't have a front sight staking tool.

I have three sets of recoil springs for my 1911A1 clone: one for 180gr target, one for 230gr standard, and one for 10mm/45+P.
I eventually replaced the hammer spring with one from Wolfsprings.

The OP pistol sounds like it was set up for target loads.

I prefer the simple things. Your test will be proof after 400 rounds that it shoot reliably.

What you have is stamped on the gun.

This.

And the OP is....in Norway! Has this been taken into consideration by most of the people here?

They are fortunate that they can Still Own semi-auto handguns (maybe just as "collectors"), and recently, my impression is that Norwegians lost access to certain types of semi-auto rifles (?).
