A buddy of mine who is a Sgt. from one of the gang units locally knows I am a 1911 fan, etc. He's not a "gun guy" per se. He sends me this message:
"Hi Will:
I had lunch with a good friend of mine the other day. We get together once a year. He's 85 years old. He landed on Iwo Jima with 239 fellow Marine warriors. At the end of the fighting he walked of with the remaining 13.
He mentioned that he has an old .45 caliber wrapped up in a cloth that he's kept over all the years.I know that the legendary .45 is your weapon of choice. You interested?Take Care, KM"
Interested????!!! I would give up a nad for that gun. For me, such a gun is equivalent to the samurai sword in that in imbibes the spirit of the warrior who used it. It is unfortunate that my conscience will not let me fail to tell him that he will get far more $$$ for it he puts it in gun broker some place like that then what I can afford, but if he wants it to have a good home with someone who will honor his service and treat his 1911 like it was my own kid, I'm his guy.
Fingers crossed...
