Bought this one from a guy who was selling it on another forum (Firearms specific forum).

It is a 1944 Colt 1911a1 which allegedly belonged to a B-24 bombardier during WWII.

The seller stated that he purchased it directly from his son.

Not sure if the story is true or not but I bought the gun, not the story.

What I mean is that the gun was sold to me for a price that was fair for the gun without the story.

I will be getting the gun in hand sometime this week and I can post better photos.

It is all an all correct firearm.

I put some CLP on it and placed it in a BoreStore and put it in my safe.

Got it yesterday.

Next to the M1 Garand, this is the next 'best battle implement ever devised'. I shot and qualified with the .45cal M1911A1 and of course I bought one as a civilian. I read today on Military.gov that the US Army is not going to buy the new Beretta M9A3. It'd be nice if the US Armed Forces went back to the .45cal with either Para-Ordnance (14 rds in the mag) or Sig-Sauer. The .45 has never been questioned regarding its stopping power and that's what a soldier needs. BTW Nice pistol.
