I was in the gun shop talking to somebody when this guy walked up to the counter not far from me and puts a bag down. He asks the person on the other side if he thought this 1911 could be cleaned and if it might still work. His Father had it at Normandy. He then pulls out a Colt pistol with a little rust on the barrel and it was stamped property of US Govt.
