Cleaned and oiled parts ready to be taken to a shop to be sandblasted and Parkerized. The M1911A1 is completely disassembled and almost all of the bluing has been removed, the sandblasting will remove the rest. The parts are in remarkably great shape considering this pistol was manufactured in 1943. No rust pitting, the only "scar" is an small area that has been banged up on the edge of the slide that a craftsman with a file could repair.
