    Try Collectors Firearms in Houston. Tell them the story and include photos of the pistol. Good luck.

    With a history like that it needs to go to a museum, or military collector, not just some 1911 aficionado.

    Please do not go by Blue Book values. I can’t speak to 1911s, but on S&W revolvers, where I have some knowledge, their valuations are what I’d expect a pawn broker to offer.

    The copy I bought should’ve been on the Science Fiction/Fantasy aisle.

    I have my dad’s RR 1911A1. Outstanding condition. He was a WWII Navy vet, but it’s not a bring-back.

    Been there recently for their annual summer sale...they're more interested in profit (low ball your trade) than listening to story...
