1911_purview

This 1954 Colt is a purpose built bullseye 1911 with a highly accurized NM slide, barrel, and bushing, by Ernest Blackburn (1951-2013). Ernie, from Bemidji Minnesota, was a devoted family man and outdoor enthusiast. He enjoyed bird hunting with his Gordon Setters, camping, canoeing, hobby farming, and flying his J3 Piper Cub. His bullseye 1911s are marked “EB” on the barrel hood and they are built like Sherman tanks. This was number 26. Here’s to the American man, who is no longer built like this. I bet he never owned a water bottle
