My dad gave me a 1918-mfg. 1911 at age 12! But didn't really do anything with it til much later; only fired once or twice. Still have it, as a collectible. Old "gray gun", blue gone over time, came from his father, who knows where, when, or how. Meaning to get a factory letter on it even thought it's just a regular item, not special at all.77 last choosdy. Been shooting since age six, starting with my dad holding my hands around his M1911A1, stolen from somewhere or other, and seriously illegal. My first seven shots went straight into the sea in front of me, and left nary a trace. Began shooting BP in 1968. Never stopped since.

That's awesome.
