This 1911 (converted to 1911 A1) was carried by my father, First Sergeant William W. Cross, from approximately 1943 to 1945. He enlisted in January 1941 and was discharged in October 1945. The shoulder holster is original to the gun and was used by me in the 1950s to carry cap guns. The Colt works as well today as it did 90 plus years ago. My Dad's Ike jacket is shown in the second photo.
