Section 8: Handguns Subject: Norinco 1911 Msg# 1029688

There was no manufacturers mark on it, but the owner I procured it from picked it up from a Turkish diplomat who was being ejected from the country. The Previous Owner stated the diplomat picked it up in Canada. It came with the ratty Norinco box. That and the story seemed to go together. I picked it up in a private sale anyway.
I wouldn't put this up there with an Ed Brown, but I'd put it against say, a Kimber. The fit and finish is simply "that nice". |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I moved these photos from Classic to Modern Handguns, TJ, as they started coming into the country in the very early 1990s. I can't see them as classics at this point just because they are no longer imported. And that's just here, they've continued to be imported to Canada all along, for example. For what it's worth, they came in for a few short years in huge numbers. Yours seems to have had the name ground off? If that's the case, how did you ID it? By the way, Harvey, there is good quality and there is great quality. I still wouldn't put an inexpensive pistol up against, say, an Ed Brown. |
