Would anyone trust an original WWI or WWII issue 1911 as a daily use or home defense gun?

Yeah, I was thinking of buying an original someday. Why get a clone when you can get an original? I saw a couple at a recent show and they weren't too outrageous in price. Once I get a real job

Have you guys checked prices on ORIGINAL MILITARY issue 45s from WW I and WW II ?

$1000 for a reparked 1913 dated Colt, $1200 for a 1943 Remington Rand, both at a local gun show two weeks ago. I've seen online dealers with higher prices. I would want one for the history as well as personal use. Wouldn't think of selling one if I had one.
