This video showcases a remarkable discovery: a 1911 pistol found in its original holster, untouched for over a century. The firearm, dating to July 1918, was unearthed in a grandmother's condo, hidden under cardboard. The description highlights the pistol's historical context, suggesting it was likely prepared for overseas deployment during World War I. The video details the conditions of its discovery and the specific .45 ACP ammunition found within the magazine, presumed to be from 1918. The analysis delves into Colt's production records for that period, narrowing down the pistol's shipment to either July 22 or 27, both destined for the Brooklyn Ordnance Depot and then potentially Europe.
