I now have two 1911's and one A1.  Now I'm interested in acquiring the original military published manuals and would love to see what you have and what's out there. This is the only one I have, revised in 1914. Cover is kinda rough but I suspected the early manuals can be tough to find so I bought it. I found this in an antique store in Brookville, Ohio. I had to ask if he had anything interesting like this and then he pulled it out from behind his desk.

Thank you for the comments. Now to find a 1918 version like Nack's. 

Oh and maybe the 1912 version, and any between the war versions, and then a WW2 version....

You need to add one of these lithographs to your collection. I think they were made in the 1936-8 time frame by the ordnance department. Sort about the reflection.

kfields,

 

Please see the link below to a post I made in 2010 about my M1911 manual collection, as well as the 1938 M1911 poster.  I believe I've added a couple more manuals since then.

Nice, don't see many of the M1911 lithographs.

Picked up a 1940 dated FM yesterday at the flea market for ten bucks. I'm continuing to look for the other manuals to add to my mini-collection!
