SOLD IMPORTANT & RARE COLT MODEL OF 1911 US NAVY SERVICE PISTOL, VERY EARLY SERIAL NUMBER #2520! SHIPPED JUNE, 1912 TO THE BROOKLYN NAVY YARD, 100% CORRECT!

IN 95% ORIGINAL VERY SHARP & ATTRACTIVE CONDITION, AND 100% CORRECT AS WELL, WE HAVE AN EXCEPTIONALLY RARE, VERY EARLY PRODUCTION, SERIAL #2520!!! COLT MODEL OF 1911 U.S. NAVY SERVICE PISTOL.  THIS PISTOL WAS SHIPPED TO THE BROOKLYN NAVAL YARD ON JUNE 1, 1912, IN A SHIPMENT OF 1000 PISTOLS.

VERY LIKELY THIS PISTOL WAS ISSUED TO ONE OF THE SHIPS IN SERVICE OR BEING BUILT AT THE NAVAL YARD.  THIS PISTOL IS 100% CORRECT WITH THE ORIGINAL HORIZONTAL “H” MARKED BARREL WITH AN EXCELLENT BORE.  IT IS COMPLETELY CORRECT AND TOTALLY ORTHODOX, WITH THE EQUALLY RARE AND VERY EARLY PINNED MAGAZINE, WITH THE PLUNGER TYPE MAGAZINE RELEASE.  EVERYTHING EXACTLY AS IT SHOULD BE ON THIS FINE EARLY NAVY COLT.  

THESE U.S. NAVY MARKED COLT 1911 PISTOLS ARE THE MOST HIGHLY SOUGHT OF THE WWI ERA GOVERNMENT MODEL PISTOLS.  THEY ARE EXTREMELY RARE BECAUSE SO FEW WERE EVER MANUFACTURED AND MOST OF THEM ARE SITTING ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PACIFIC.  THERE ARE PROBABLY MORE ON THE BOTTOM OF PEARL HARBOR THAN ANY WHERE IN THE WORLD.

THESE PISTOLS IN ANY ORIGINAL CONDITION ARE AGGRESSIVELY SOUGHT AFTER BY COLLECTORS, AND THIS IS A RARE CHANCE TO GET ONE OF THE MORE INTERESTING AND DESIRABLE REMAINING EXAMPLES THAT IS STILL IN VERY DECENT SHAPE. THIS IS ALSO RARE OPPORTUNITY TO GET A VERY, VERY EARLY SERIAL NUMBER US NAVY COLT 1911!!!
