Don't know exactly, however it was probably made recently. Springfield made the first US Government contract version of this .45 cal pistol (model 1911). However, Springfield did not paticipate in the next production contract with the modified version of the 1911, known as the A1.
Colt & others did. So that means that Springfield, on its own, has produced the A1 version (a very popular version) for sale to the public, decades later then when the original A1 first appeared. The serial numbers that begin with 'ww' probably mean that it is not a military issue weapon.
I'm not an expert in this area, please consult with one Check with gunbroker. Com Hope this helps a little.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
