Description
U.S. Colt Model 1911, .45 cal. auto military pistol. Serial #36078, mfg. 1913. Very good condition. Standard U.S. officer's issue during World War I. Extremely nice example. "P"over "H" marked barrel has a very good bore - some light pitting. "United States Property" marked on left side of frame. Blue is very nice for being 103 years old at 75% with some scratches and light holster wear. The blue is strong and vibrant on the more protected areas. Take down scratch. Feb. 14. 1911 patent date on left side of slide. Right side of the slide is marked "Model 1911. U.S. Army". "WGP" in circle inspector's mark is vivid on left side of frame. Early style round rear sight. Black rubber grips. Lanyard loop. Nice tight action. Correct two tone magazine. Nice! This gun would have been in excellent condition if it had the correct grips. This is a very impressive example. Great one to put away. Lots of W.W. I history here! C&R OK.
