serial #X1044, 45 ACP, 5'' Springfield Armory barrel with an about very good bore showing some scattered pinprick pitting and moderate frosting with otherwise strong rifling. This pistol is from the First Series of X-prefix guns and the first batch of 179 numbers assigned to Springfield Armory on April 24, 1924. This was intended for recovered pistols with defaced or otherwise illegible serial numbers. The metal surfaces retain about 90% arsenal-refurbished Parkerized finish showing overall silvering along the high edges and gripstraps toning to gray. The checkered walnut double diamond grips remain in very good condition showing scattered light dings and some thin cracks forming around the edges top and bottom. All markings remain intact and strong, the left side of the frame with small ''AA'' Augusta Arsenal rework mark and eagle head inspector stamp and the right side of the frame showing ''UNITED STATES PROPERTY'' hand-stamped by the Springfield armorer over ''No X1044''. The inside bottom surface of the slide is also stamped with the number ''194''. The major small parts are of the correct style and the pistol includes one pinned base two-tone Barnes & Kobert magazine in very fine condition. This is a nice example of an interesting and seldom-seen variant for the advanced 1911 collector. (13B11728-883) {C&R} (1800/2200)
