Happy Valentine’s Day: 1911 Patent's 111th Anniversary

John Moses Browning's most famous Valentine's gift to gun owners was U.S. Patent 984,519 for a handgun later known just as the 1911.

The 15-page patent application, filed Feb. 17, 1910, included 38 points of claim and three sheets of drawings, building on Browning's previous 1897 patent (#580,924) for a magazine pistol.

The patent was issued Feb. 14, 1911, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Bill Wilson is a genius but that image should show a Colt product... the original.
