SOLD – COLT 1911A1 1934 COMMERICAL MINTY PUBLIC ENEMY ERA PISTOL

IN 97% ORIGINAL VERY SHARP CONDITION WE HAVE A VERY HARD TO FIND COLT MODEL 1911A1 GOVERMENT MODEL COMMERIAL THAT WAS MANUFACTURED IN VERY EARLY 1934. THIS WAS DURING THE PUBLIC ENEMIES CRIME WAVE OF 1931 THROUGH 1934. THIS IS IN TOP CONDITION WITH AN EXCELLENT BORE. THIS GUN WILL EVOKE IMAGES OF THE FAMOUS VILIANS SUCH AS BONNIE AND CLYDE AND JOHN DILLENGER AND PRETTY BOY FLOYD ALONG WITH THE LAWMEN WHO SENT THEM STRAIGHT TO HELL. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS PISTOL WAS MANUFACTURED DURING THE GREAT DEPRESSION. IT WAS COMPLETELY OUT OF REACH OF MOST PEOPLE. FEW WERE MADE AND THEY WERE BOUGHT BY THOSE WITH A GOOD REASON TO NEED IT AND THE MONEY TO DO IT WITH. THIS IS A VERY ATTRRACTIVE PISTOL, MUCH NICER THAN THE PICTURES SHOW WITH A MINT BORE. THIS IS A VERY ICONIC SYMBOL OF THE ERA, ALONG WITH THE THOMPSON AND THE V-8 FORD.

ACCORDING TO THE COLT FACTORY LETTER THIS PISTOL WAS SHIPPED TO THE FAMOUS KELLY-HOWE-THOMPSON HARDWARE CO OF DULUTH MN ON JUNE 5, 1934.
