Spot on Sam. As you might imagine, AC's 1911 legacy was well thought out. He made sure to sit me down on a few occasions and prescribe out the firearm distribution amongst his 3 kids. He raised us all as shooters, 1911 fans, and appreciators of craftsmanship. The caliber and quality of his 1911 collection is not lost on us. We all treasure the tactile memories associated with each one of his firearms; especially his .45s. The final build you mentioned is indeed going to AC's daughter. He felt it appropriate to leave his most attractive and most museum worthy piece to her. My brother and I each received a pair of more utilitarian combat/carry guns which will be used, abused, cared for, and treasured the way he would want them to be.
