Oh, that is awesome.
I have a Commander in 38 Super. My MIL bought it new in 1968-69.
Very nice pistol.
You can always get a drop in aftermarket barrel in 9mm Luger or 7.62mm Tokarev.
Ew, why?
I like .38 SA. I own plenty of nines already. Besides, it seems wrong and strange to much-younger me to shoot the native ammo of the Hi-Power from a 1911. :)
(Mark's Commander, OTOH, sounds like a kewl gun!)
Now that 'Short Wave Craft' looks interesting!
'Radio Electronics' back in the 30's!
(The Colt in .38 Super is nice and way out of my budget *sigh*)
I am intrigued and want to know more.
I'd recommend contacting either Cylinder and Slide or Clark Custom guns, either of those folks can help you get it set up the way you want.
A sweet-looking Super you have there. I especially like the high fixed sights, allowing a quickly-acquired and vastly superior sight picture. Did you have 'em installed? The sandblasted wood stocks became standard with the 70 Series. That vintage pistol probably came with the plastic "Coltwood" panels on it.
I'd be interested in hearing how much your groups improve with the updated barrel.
"You can always get a drop in aftermarket barrel in ... 7.62mm Tokarev."
COAL for factory 7.62 Tok is too long for the standard Colt mag profile, IIRC.

several 1911a1 .38 super barrels.
C-90
The sights, I had installed -- Trijicons. Both of my 1911s have 'em. The lockwork in this gun appears to be stock and runs fine. I'm giving serious thought to a Kart Easy Fit barrel from Brownell's. Tam's gunsmith pals at CCA have done all of the work on my 1911s so far and I may ask them to put it in; it's slow, exacting work.
My .38SA dates to 1948. Was my Great-Uncle John.
I've replaced the springs and had new sights installed. Clearly my uncle had better eyes than I.
Yes, I've kept the old sights should I want to return it to original condition.
