Wow! Blows my mind how similar 1911s look today compared to back then. You just don't change a classic that is so well built.

Its hard to see in the first picture, but is there a manufacture date? I see 1902 and 1913, but I can't make out the text.

I'm not totally sure...like you saw, the most recent date on it is 1913. I know it was issued to him around 1917 so we'll call it somewhere in that 4 year window until I'm able to bring it to someone who knows these things better.
