Nary a 9mm among them. Two .38 Supers; the rest .45ACP.

That photo is probably 10 years old. There have been additions . . .

Still no 9mm, though. For some reason, my mind only acknowledges .45 and .38 Super on the 1911 platform. Traditional, I guess.

You might take note that the two on the left side are 1911s. The top one is military (U.S. Property); the bottom one a Government Model. They are the oldest ones of the mob.

The rest are 1911A1 configuration, which makes them post-1924. You can tell at a glance by the relief cut in the frame behind the trigger. Also, the upper tang on the grip safety is longer on a 1911A1.

I'll identify them.

Top row, left to right:
* Remington Rand 1911A1, U.S. Property, .45ACP, made 1944;
* Colt 1911A1, U.S. Property, .45ACP, made 1943;
* Ithaca 1911A1, U.S. Property, .45ACP, made 1943;
* Colt Government Model, .45ACP, made 1931;
* Colt 1911, U.S. Property, .45ACP, made 1918.

Bottom row, left to right:
* Colt Gold Cup National Match, .45ACP, made 1969 (the elephant ivory grip panels are add-on);
* Colt Government Model, .45ACP, made 1950;
* Colt Super .38, made 1948;
* Colt Super .38, made 1931;
* Colt Government Model, .45ACP, made 1917.

Don't feel bad. I had to look at the full-resolution copy of this photograph in order to accurately identify each one. For those interested to see them up-close, here's a link: Big Picture
