In 98% mint sharp condition, we have an exceptionally fine example of a February 1944 production Colt 1911a1 US Army Service Pistol. This pistol is 100% factory original with a mint bore. It shows just some slight carry use. In 1944 Colt produced more 1911a1 pistols than any other year, totaling over 162,000. Still with that being said to find one that survived the war in this little more than slightly handled condition is a real find.
You cannot find a more desirable pistol to park money into than a US WWII 1911a1 Pistol. With Masters of the Air being such a huge hit, everyone wants a .45!
Scotty’s Collector Insights….Finding a factory original, non-reworked straight up WWII Colt is tough, these guns stayed in Army service right into Desert Storm and almost all have been heavily used and frequently overhauled. This pistol is exactly as it was during the war, and an iconic symbol of the arsenal of democracy.
