This very attractive 1/2 scale miniature of a U.S. Model 1911A1 pistol was made by Joel Morrow's firm known as Imperial Russian Armory and later Imperial Miniature Armory. This example shows the correct features of the iconic World War II era service sidearm with a fully functioning slide stop, grip safety, and magazine release. Includes a hardwood case and a scale recreation of a 50 count box of .45 ACP cartridges (empty). Provenance: The Cranford Dalby Collection

Excellent overall with almost all of the finish and very minimal handling evidence. The case is also excellent.
