Description
U.S. Colt Model 1911, .45 cal auto pistol. Serial #384120, mfg 1918. Very good condition. Standard U.S. officer's issue during World War I and II. The blue is at 30% mostly gray with the exception of the protected areas with - that being said there is no major hits, scratches or pitting. Vivid makings and lettering. April 19, 1913 patent date. United States property stamp on the left side of the frame. The 5” barrel is marked with a “5” next to the lug.  The bore is in good condition with pitting but should still shoot alright. The original diamond checkered  grips have some smoothing and wear as you would expect 99 year old handgun that could have helped save the world not once but twice! ( Yeah.. you're welcome France.)  The slide is “H” marked over the firing pin gate. Action is tight and nice.  Two tone dipped magazines are in good condition.  A very nice piece of history. Includes a G.I. brown leather holster in very good condition. G.I. pistol belt in excellent shape and a 1918 dated magazine pouch in excellent condition.   C&R OK.
