Vultite 57 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) Whats up everyone, decided to share a little video on my Ithaca M1911A1 from WWII. This was a hell of a deal I got from an older gentleman clearing out his safe. He had some lovely toys, but this caught my eye. A 1942 (or 1943, unsure) Ithaca service gun. Pretty pristine condition, and he even had a field manual for it!! Pretty wild, I did shoot it just to make sure it works, but it will be a safe queen. Hope this inspires you guys to keep looking for that great deal, this one fell in my lap. EDIT: More research is putting this gun in the middle of 1943. . .apparently many 1942 guns couldn't meet standards and only a few got by. Which is totally understandable, because this gun is ROUGH around the edges...it's like they made high school kids with worn out tools make the guns from just looking at a photo.
