I guess someone, somewhere, must own a 1911 produced in 1911 that still works and shoots just fine.
I got to handle a 1911 back in April that was made in 1918, I didn't get to shoot it but I watched the owner run 3 or 4 mags through it without a flaw.

here's a pic of it, it's the one on the table wrapped in it's original lanyard.
