serial #1072166, 45 ACP, 5'' High Standard barrel with an excellent bright bore. This lovely mid-war gun remains in fine condition. The metal surfaces retain about 90% original dull-gray Du-Lite over sandblasted finish which is stronger under ambient light having toned to brown under strong light in addition to light edge wear, plus handling and assembly marks. The fully checkered Keyes Fibre grips feature reinforcing bars on the rear of the panels, no reinforcing rings around the screw holes, and remain in wonderful condition. All the controls and small parts appear correct for the period of manufacture, Lt. Colonel Downie's inspection stamp and the proof marks are crisp as are the other markings. It includes a Scovill Manufacturing seven-round magazine with welded base. Manufacture of U.S.&S. Model 1911A1s is miniscule compared to the others of the period. Finding one with original parts and fine condition is a fleeting opportunity for the collector. (8B11798-3) {C&R} (6000/8000)
