max power Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 My grandfather brought back his service weapon from WWII and has used it as his home defense weapon ever since. It was discovered missing Thursday, but could have been missing for longer. It was last seen in August. The Gun:Colt 1911 .45Ser # 459xxxU.S. GOVERNMENT PROPERTY stamped on the side.It was most likely taken by a troubled family member and sold for drug money in the Columbus area, but that is speculation. It could be any where by now. If approached to buy a WWII era 1911, please contact me, or the FAIRFIELD COUNTY Sheriffs office.As you can imagine, there is extreme sentimental value here. There is a reward for its safe return. Please spread the word.Stock photo, but looks like this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 The house has been turned upside down and its gone. It was always kept in the same place, within easy reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max power Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Nice looking piece. Someone's in trouble.It was his pride and joy. He guarded McArthur in Japan after the war and carried one along with a machine gun. This is about the lowest thing a family member could do to him. Real fucked up deal.

chevysoldier Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Dude, that sucks, sorry to hear this. I know quite a few people who have had firearms stolen, both by strangers and family members. Really shitty when it's a family member. If I help to have it returned to you, the only reward I want is to shoot it a couple times. That would be pretty sweet especially since it stood between McArthur and the enemy.
