I recently acquired a Colt 1911 made in February 1913. It was rebued at one time and got disastrously buffed on the stamps. I know little to nothing about 1911’s especially original military ones. This one has been set up for target use with an adjustable rear sight and a high front sight. Also the beaver tail has been modified. But it also has an extra barrel, beaver tail, hammer and bushing. How do I tell what’s original, what’s aftermarket, etc. I’m thinking of restoring it as best as I can to original configuration. Also, is there any chance this was set up for a marksmanship unit or anything? (Pics to come)
Thanks!
