Pics of my Colt series 80 worked on by Wilson Combat

Here is a pic of my Old Colt Government Model series 80 worked on by Bill Wilson in the mid 80's.Notice the old Wilson sights and thumb safety.There is also a stamp from Wilson under the serial number that you might be able to see.I also have a pre Wilson Combat mag that says Wilson's Gun Shop on the bottom of it(Not Pictured). The gun is basic but does what it suppose to do.

Wilson tuned up a mighty fine 1911 slabsides.
That's a Colt to treasure.

"The gun is basic but does what it suppose to do."

That's all that matters.
