Colt 1911 U.S. Army .45 ACP SN: 18747
Refinished 1911 pistol with a serial number that puts it's production very early in 1913. Polished blued finish throughout, "S" & "P" marked 5" bbl, later patent markings on the slide(last date Aug.19,1913), smooth trigger, knurled wide hammer spur, factory marked magazine, smooth mainspring housing with lanyard loop and checkered brown synthetic grips with Rampant Colt decor. The frame is stamped "UNITED STATES PROPERTY"(without serifs), [eagle head], "E.E.C.", "NO18747", "RIA", "FK" and a has couple illegible marks. It is this describers opinion that the frame markings are erroneous. Pistol exhibits approximately 90% of it's blued refinish showing slide wear on the barrel, some scattered light rust and some old pitting under the finish. Action is sound , the bore is excellent, markings are good+ and the synthetic grips are very good. Condition is Good as refinished. ***C&R Firearm***
