Custom Armand Swenson Bobcat 45 steel frame commander built for James A. Wood Jr before he deployed to Vietnam. With it being a bobcat conversion this gun started its life as a fullsize govt 1911 and was then cut down to commander length.
James A. Wood Jr wanted a steel frame commander but it was not offered by colt at the time thus he turned to legendary 1911 pistol smith Armand Swenson and had this pistol commissioned in 1968 with it being finished just in time for his deployment. In the meantime James and Swenson exchanged letters about the build, one of which outlined the work that Swenson suggested for the gun, with red ink at the top corner of the page saying, "I have checked the functional needs for you. What I would bring to Vietnam with ME. -Armand Swenson".
James Woods carried this pistol in an M3 shoulder holster all throughout his deployment to Vietnam and returned safely with it.
Custom made steel framed 1911, survived a tour in Vietnam and still in perfect condition.
