Old vs. New ?

[oldironguts]

My Dad's 1911 Colt willed to me "Pacific Theatre", Iam wondering about the diffence in quality in these older Colts versus the newer ones. I new here, so if anyone can help I'd be grateful.......Don

That's a commemorative so its not particular old.  People will wax poetic about the polish and blue on some of the old ones.  Aside from that the current models are as good as any ever built.
