Collector Grade M1911 & M1911A1 Descriptions

Unlike valuable coins, it is impractical to seal a collectible pistol after it has been inspected and described. This premium Solution provides an in-hand inspection, data sheet, a detailed written description and hi-resolution digital images on CD to establish the highest degree of documentation.

Here are some examples of the photography we provide with this Solution. To see larger images, please visit the Gallery.

1915 Colt M1911 issued to LTC Frank W. Snow during WWI.

WWII U.S. Navy rig with 1944 Colt M1911A1.

FP-45 "Liberator" with instructions, ejection rod and ammo.

1 of only 250 Colt Govt. Models sold to State of NY in 1950 due to Korean War.

One of 4 pistols specially noted in the WWII Colt shipping records 6/30/45.

High quality digital images of markings, wear patterns and condition serve to document the status of each pistol when inspected and described. Copies of the report and images are retained for future verification. Please see the images in the Gallery for examples of the photography we provide. Images in the Gallery are of lower resolution than what we provide with this package.

The pistols, when properly maintained and preserved, will continue to appreciate in value over time. Many collectors plan to eventually sell or bequest their collections to loved ones that may not be as knowledgeable or experienced regarding the specifics of each piece.

This solution looks to and plans for the future. You or your heirs are left with all the necessary tools to make informed decisions. When a pistol is relegated to be sold, this Collector Grade Description provides resources to properly market the pistol with an accurate description and high quality images.

Some discounts may apply for non-credit card purchases and larger quantity collections. Please contact me for quotes for descriptions of handguns other than M1911 and M1911A1 pistols.
