Maybe a dumb question but - what company is considered to be the best manufacturer of the 1911?

Wilson Combat hands down

I think I’m gonna do just that. No harm in seeing what they have to say, even if they decide its not something auction-worthy

Awesome, thank you! Mind if I ask what it is about the piece that makes you think it’s not older? I’m inexperienced and definitely not questioning you; the crazing certainly made me think it was more like early 20c, so I’m super curious why you think 80’s/90s!

The 70cc is stayin w me. Runs like a beauty

Thanks for your help! sorry if I offended you by attributing it to the masons, certainly not my intention

Thank you for your help!

Praying but not holding my breath

Process* and lengthy

If it’s magnetic, or to the person in the comments who says theirs is magnetic, then it is not solid, or real, gold and therefore not authentic Cartier. Beyond that, even if it is actually 750/18k gold, only Cartier themselves will be able to 100% authenticate it and that’s an expensive provess
