Hello. Was hoping someone might be familiar with the intertwined "GS" marking on the bottom of the Colt 1911 slide in the attached photo. After looking in my Poyer book and other forums my best guess is that it was originally stamped "S" for a Commercial production, but then over-stamped "G"...

Hello all, I am in search of a 1911 and 1911a1 data sheet like I have used for Garands and M1 Carbines. HOW TO FILL OUT a CARBINE CLUB DATA SHEET FOR AN M1 CARBINE Is anyone aware of datasheets available for the 1911's (particularly govt models) Thank you in advance

I have a 1911 built in 1914 which was shipped to the Navy. Does the Navy maintain any records which would indicate which ship, station, or base it was assigned to?
