In 97%+ very crisp condition we have a fairly early July, 1943 Production Ithaca 1911a1 US Army Service Pistol one of the last pistols with the Du-Lite gray blue finish.  This pistol is 100% correct and factory original and the bore is mint.   This is a very interesting early Ithaca for a number of reasons; it is one of the very last pistols that was sandblasted & blued and it still features much of the hallmarks of early production at Ithaca such as the lack of a factory Quality control inspection mark on the left front triggerguard web and flamng bomb proofs on the frame and the slide.  This pistol was shipped to the Raritan Arsenal in New Jersey and would have been sent to arm troops fighting in Europe.  If you are looking for an example of the Pistol made in Ithaca, New York, this is a real peach!
