After that letter I didnt bother sending for a letter on the 1851 Navy as I knew what the results would be. I have a family owned 1911 made in Oct 1918 and all I got in my letter was the day it was made and shipped to Springfield Armory. I would tend to think the Civil War weapons that served in the post war should have more records on them but then again they only have a few Custer carbines they can prove were at LBH.And Mr Gross I know what you say about Colt. ![]() For me doing research its fun and takes up my time as I was medically retired from military I have nothing but time to do research and try to help others out when I can.I do have my arms room book from Iraq showing weapons serial numbers and who was assigned what weapon maybe 100 years from now that will be a good research tool for collectors but I doubt we will see saw's and other automatics in collectors hands in the future.
