• An alloy frame with a gloss-blued finish;
• a machined aluminum slide with a gloss-blued finish and gold-enhanced engraving commemorating the 100th anniversary of John M. Browning’s 1911 design;
• a stainless steel barrel block with a matte-blued finish and target crown;

• fixed sights;
• a detachable 10-round magazine;

• a grip safety.

The 1911-22 Commemorative is made in the USA.

In the first boxed set, the 1911-22 comes with a full-size 1911 chambered in .45 ACP. This steel-framed pistol features the 1913 Government contract configuration and sports the same style finish and engraving as the 1911-22 Commemorative.

In the second set, the 1911-22 comes with a Ka-Bar knife. It features a 5.25″ blade formed from 1095 Cr-Vanadium steel and engraved with 1911-22 logo, a stacked leather handle, and a leather sheath with a retainer snap.

Both sets come in a velvet-lined walnut case with a printed glass top that proclaims the 100th anniversary of the famous John M. Browning design of the 1911. The inside lid depicts a collage of photos showing the military use of the 1911 over the last century.
