U.S. Model 1911 Semi-Auto Pistol by Colt
serial #519995, 45 ACP, 5'' Flannery barrel with an oxidized and pitted bore showing strong rifling throughout. This late World War I gun remains in excellent condition as refurbished by the arsenal. The metal surfaces retain about 99% restored arsenal grade Parkerized finish showing minor high edge wear and a few handling marks. The fully checkered Keyes Fibre replacement grips have reinforcing bars on the rear of the panels, reinforcing rings around the screw holes, and they remain in excellent condition. All of the controls and small parts appear correct for the period of manufacture although the hammer is a straight sided WWII era replacement and the slide is a Remington Rand with serrated ramp front sight and square notch drift adjustable rear. The ''eagle / S/7'' inspection stamp is soft and difficult to read, the other markings remain strong and the ''AA'' arsenal rework marking is crisp. It includes a well worn Colt seven-round magazine with a pinned plain floorplate. A beautiful arsenal rework for the collector. (8A11728-935) {C&R} (1200/1800)
