Manufactured in Argentina, and imported by Century Arms, the only other distinguishing markings are the serial number, and the strange "I.P." initials. As detailed on page 192 of Clawson's "Colt .45 Government Models (Commercial Series) Second Edition" this particular version of the Colt Government Model was manufactured by DGFM and the Fabrica Militar de Armas Portatiles factory in Rosario, Argentina, but all of the original markings were expertly removed and restamped with the serial number and I.P. initials. Argentine historians have been unable to identify the markings, making this a very rare and mysterious gun. The removal of original markings may indicate a possible clandestine role for these particular pistols, and the small quantity produced suggests limited distribution. All Government Models of this type exhibit the same marking pattern, and the highest serial number examined professionally at the time of publication, is recorded as 401. Very few of this particular type have been imported into the United States. 

Gun appears to be mechanically sound in apparent good working order. We have not test fired it.
Metal is in fair to good condition, having little or no original finish. The gun appears to have been scrubbed and polished. There are areas of pitting on the slide and frame.
Bore is in good condition with strong rifling and some roughness or pitting.
Grips and magazine are not original to the gun.
