SOLD COLT 1911 BLACK ARMY 1918 PRODUCTION

IN 95% DECENT CONDITION WE HAVE A HARD TO FIND EXAMPLE OF AN MID 1918 PRODCUTION “BLACK ARMY” COLT 1911. THIS PISTOL IS 100% CORRECT EXACTLY AS IT LEFT COLTS. THIS PISTOL WAS SHIPPED TO THE ORDNANCE DEPOT AT BUSH TERMINAL FOR SHIPMENT TO FRANCE. THIS BLACK OXIDE FINISH IS NOT VERY DURABLE AND IS PRONE TO DISCOLORATION AND FLAKING, MOST OF THESE PISTOLS TODAY HAVE A VERY DISCOLORED SPLOTCY LOOK BUT THIS ONE SHOWS A GOOD STRONG EVEN FINISH. THIS PISTOL WAS ALMOST CERTAINLY USED IN BOTH WORLD WARS. THE BORE IS DECENT AND IT LOOKS AS IF IT HAD BEEN CARRIED MUCH MORE THAN SHOT. FINDING A DECENT BLACK ARMY IS NOT AN EASY TASK.
