SOLD COLT 1911 MILITARY EARLY PRODUCTION SEPT 1915 NAMED PISTOL

IN 98% ORIGINAL VERY SHARP CONDITION, 100% CORRECT AS IT LEFT THE FACTORY WE HAVE AN HISTORICALLY IMPORTANT COLT 1911 PISTOL. THIS FIREARM IS ENGRAVED TO CAPTAIN C.G. MICHALIS AND THIS WAS HIS SERVICE ARM DURING THE MEXICAN BORDER CAMPAIGN OF 1916 AND IN FRANCE WHERE HE SERVED IN THE 104TH FIELD ARTILLERY AS THE QUATERMASTER AT THE RANK OF CAPTAIN. THE 104TH SAW CONSIDERABLE ACTION IN FRANCE. IF YOU GOOGLE THE NAME TODAY IT STILL SHOWS UP AS HE WAS A PROMINENT NEW YORK BANKER AND WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE SEAMEN’S BANK. HE WAS A WELL KNOW ART COLLECTOR AND PHILANTRHOPIST AND WE HAVE INCLUDED ALOT OF BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION WITH THE PISTOL. EARLY COLT PISTOLS SUCH AS THIS ARE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN SUCH EXCELLENT WELL CARED FOR CONDITION AND COUPLE WITH THE PROVENANCE THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DEISRABLE PIECE FOR ANY COLT COLLECTOR. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT COLTS THAT WE HAVE HAD IN THE FIRM.
