Description

In 97% very sharp condition,100% factory original,  we have a 2nd years production Colt Model 1911 US Army Pistol that was shipped on September 6, 1913 to Springfield Arsenal. This pistol is 100% factory original and is a textbook example.  The roll marking of the slide is extremely well defined.  The bore is mint and the grips are very sharp.  This pistol has all the very early features such as the short hammer and rounded rear sight and lanyard loop mag.  This is a very attractive extremely sharp looking early Colt 1911 US Army; these are nearly impossible to find this crisp most were in constant service and reworked many times.  Pistols like this one served in the Mexican Border fighting then WW1 and right through WW2, certainly one of the most historic pistols of the 20th century.
