PISTOL: COLT FIREARMS MODEL M1911 - A1 IMPORTED BY NA, SERIAL NUMBER 1114620, SEMI - AUTOMATIC, 45 ACP (45 AUTO), BLUE, CASE NOT INCLUDED, 5
Notes:
This is a 100% "all-correct" as-manufactured 1943 Colt M1911A1 rig. Serial number 1114620 completely escaped the common post-war military arsenal rebuild process, retaining all of its original factory-born components. This is a true combat veteran time capsule.
Pistol Specifications & Features:
* Frame: Correct "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" and "M1911A1 U.S. ARMY" rollmarks. Stamped with original "G.H.D." inspector initials (Brigadier General Guy H. Drewry) and "G" government contract stamp on the receiver.
* Slide: Features correct matching factory "P" proof layout, line ahead of the rear sight, and internal inspector/assembler stamps ("K" and rare backwards "E"). Fully functional action.
* Barrel: Historically flawless early-to-mid 1943 Colt factory barrel. Correctly stamped "COLT 45 AUTO" on the lower-left portion of the chamber with a matching "P" military proof mark on the lug.
* Grips: Original, period-correct brown checkered "Coltwood" plastic grips manufactured by subcontractor Keyes Fibre Company (marked with the internal star and mold cavity numbers 11).
* Condition: Beautiful, untouched combat-worn condition. Features an entirely original grey Parkerized patina with areas of historic pitting. Zero aftermarket modifications, polishing, or refinishing-preserving 100% of its historical integrity.
Included Accessories:
* Holster: Original 1943 U.S. Military M3 Leather Shoulder Holster embossed with the official U.S. Ordnance wheel. Clearly stamped "U.S. BOYT 43" on the back. Shows heavy wear on the straps and authentic verdigris on hardware, matching the pistol's timeline perfectly.
Magazines: Three authentic WWII 7-round contractor magazines. Two feature the "L" stamp (Little Automotive Mfg.) and one features the "R" stamp (Risdon Mfg.). Both suppliers actively shipped to Colt in 1943.
