IN 94% CONDITION WITH ALL CORRECT PARTS INCLUDING THE MAG, BARREL AND ALL THE PROPER S MARKED SMALL PARTS, WE HAVE AN EARLY PRODUCTION SPRINGFIELD ARMORY 1911 PISTOL. THIS PISTOL WAS MADE AROUND JUNE 1914 AND WAS ONE OF THE VERY FIRST GUNS MANUFACTURED BY SPRINGFIELD ARMORY. IT HAS THE SHORT HAMMER WHICH WAS REPLACED WITH THE LONGER HAMMER IN PRODUCTION NOT LONG AFTER THIS GUN WAS PRODUCED, WHICH MAKES IT RARER THAN MOST. WHILE VERY WELL MADE THEY ARE NOT PRETTY GUNS LIKE THE COLTS, THEY HAVE A MUCH DULLER BLUE FINISH WITH A TINGE OF GRAY. THE BORE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THESE SPRINGFIELD MADE GUNS ARE VERY PROBLEMATIC TO COLLECT BECAUSE MOST WERE USED HARD AND HAVE NO CONDTION AND ON TOP OF THAT THEY ALMOST NEVER HAVE ALL ORIGINAL PARTS. THIS IS A GREAT EXAMPLE OF A DESIRABLE AND HARD TO FIND PISTOL.
