SOLD COLT 1911A1 MARCH 1945 DELIVERY MINT CRISP! BRITISH ISSUE

IN 99% MINT CRISP CONDITION, 100% CORRECT EXACTLY AS IT LEFT COLT ON IN MARCH, 1945, WE HAVE A SUPER EXAMPLE OF A WW2 ISSUED COLT 1911A1. THIS GUN IS CORRECT IN EVERY RESPECT AND HAS THE ORIGNAL LATE WAR MARKED COLT P PROOFED BARREL. THIS IS A TEXTBOOK EXAMPLE OF A 1945 PRODCTION COLT. IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS JUST PULLED OUT OF THE SHIPPING CARTON AND IT MOST LIKELY WAS. . WHAT MAKES THIS PISTOL VERY INTERESTING IS THAT IT IS ONE OF THE SO CALLED LEND LEASE PISTOLS THAT WERE SHIPPED TO BRITIAN DURING WW2. BECUAE THIS PISTOL WAS PROBABLY REVIED JUST A SHORT TIME BEFORE THE WAR ENDED IT WAS NEVER ISSUED AND REMAINED IN STORAGE UNTIL IT WAS SOLD BACK TO THE STATES IN 1952. THERE IS A COMMON MISCONCEPTION THAT NONE THESE PISTOLS WERE NOT ISSUED, BUT ACTUALLY THEY WERE WIDELY ISSUED TO BRITISH FORCES EXPECIALLY TO PARATROOPERS, THE SAS AND TO COMMNADO UNITS. GUNS LIKE THIS ARE AN INVESTORS GOLD STANDARD. WW2 1911’S ARE VERY HARD TO FIND THIS NICE..
