Sold COLT 1911 BLACK ARMY

IN 90% TYPICAL BLACK ARMY UGLY CONDITION, 100% CORRECT AND ORIGNAL AS PER CLAWSON, WITH AN EXCELLENT BORE, WE HAVE A 1919 MANUFACTURED COLT 1911 BLACK ARMY VARIANT. THIS WAS THE PERSONAL SIDE ARM OF LT COL H.P. TASKER, WHO SERVED IN PANAMA IN THE 1930’S , AND TAUGHT AT WEST POINT DURING WW2. THIS IS A VERY TYPICAL BLACK ARMY, THESE GUNS WERE PRETTY UGLY AND ROUGH WHEN THE LEFT THE FACTORY AND THEY MOSTLY WENT DOWNHILL AFTER THAT. MANY PEOPLE DO NOT REALIZE THAT UNTIL 1943 MOST OF THE .45’S WE WERE USING IN COMBAT WERE 1911’S MADE FOR WW1. IT WAS NOT UNTIL THE MIDDLE OF 1943 THAT HUGE NUNBERS OF 1911A1’S STARTED MAKING IT INTO THE FIELD. THIS IS A VERY TIGHT PISTOL WITH A MINTY BORE, USED BUT NOT ABUSED. THIS IS A GREAT BUY ON A 1911 AS A MINT ONE LIKE THIS WOULD START AROUND $3500.
