OP,
That is absolutely fantastic work. Quite frankly I would very much prefer to own a 1911 with the pedigree that this one has, including the rebuild that you performed on it, over a brand new in the box Colt any day. The back story, and time and effort involved make that pistol worth more than the dollar value or sum of the parts. It is a piece of history that hopefully will be appreciated by a future generation.
Hopefully the owner might take the time to write a couple pages about his brother's time in service as well as his own, and then the work you did and stick those pages in the box with the pistol. Future owners of the pistol may appreciate that very much.
Much respect!
THE CHAIR IS AGAINST THE WALL.
