Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Ithaca Custom 1911 Solley Special is a unique and meticulously crafted semi-automatic pistol chambered in .45 ACP, bearing the serial number 7490. This model stands out due to its custom features and the specific "Solley Special" designation, which indicates a specialized version likely produced in limited numbers or for a particular client or dealer. The Solley Special features a 4-inch barrel, which is slightly shorter than the standard 5-inch barrel commonly found on 1911 models, providing a balance between concealability and accuracy. The finish is a classic blue, giving it a timeless and refined appearance, further enhanced by the intricate engraving on the slide and frame. These engravings not only add to the aesthetic appeal but also signify the high level of craftsmanship involved in its creation.
The pistol is equipped with a blade front sight and an adjustable rear sight, allowing for precise aiming and customization to the shooter's preferences. This makes it suitable for both defensive purposes and competitive shooting, where accuracy is paramount. The wood grips, featuring a checkered pattern, provide a comfortable and secure hold, improving handling and control during firing. The markings on the Solley Special include standard Ithaca branding along with "Solley Special Dover Ohio" on the right side of the barrel, indicating its unique custom status. This particular marking, combined with the elaborate engravings, suggests that this model was likely a bespoke firearm made to order, possibly for a specific client or as a commemorative piece. In summary, the Ithaca Custom 1911 Solley Special is a distinguished and finely crafted .45 ACP pistol. Its combination of custom features, including the shorter barrel, detailed engravings, and personalized markings, make it a highly collectible and functional firearm. The blend of aesthetic elegance and practical design ensures it appeals to both collectors and shooting enthusiasts who appreciate the artistry and reliability of a custom 1911.
