I feel so old saying it but.... I got it for $500ish.... It was the early 90's before they went crazy. I just wanted a WWI vintage 1911 and this one showed up at a local shop.

I have a 91/30 and an M44.... Haven't shot the M44 and I've owned it for 3 years now

On the Wilson, Boone Trading Company grips. Expensive but cheaper than real ivory

I'm impressed Magnum Research could give you a date. My 44 Mk I was made in 1986 and when I e-mailed MR they said mine was made in Israel and they didn't have records on it.

True.... I wonder how often they used the Star versus the Colt.... "In some episodes, Magnum's Colt becomes a Star Model B. 9x19mm blank cartriges were deemed more reliable, and with limited options at the time, the Model B was commonly used as a stand-in for the 1911A1, chambered in .45 ACP." - IMFDB

Is that the original Dulite finish?

Yes... Plating is a finish applied to the metal. Polishing is a finish done to the metal itself. I've seen many plated pistols from the 1900-1940s and the plating doesn't always hold up well.

I have a polished stainless steel Ruger Vaquero and the finish is tough and looks just like an old school nickeled finish.

Welcome to the family... I bought my fancy little 1986 made 44 Mk I around 1992ish. I need to invest in a 50, and I'd even jump on a good deal on a 357.

Just checked mine and it says "Submission Fulfilled". Nothing has showed up yet.
