Description:
This is a original condition Colt 1911, year 1912 serial number 16698 which comes late in the 1912 Army issued range. The first year produced over 9950 Army guns with the balance going to the Navy and the USMC. The subject pistol is fully functional and mechanically sound, though not recommended for shooting considering its age and rarity. The pistol has the correct slide and small parts. Although the various books state that the barrel is suppose to have a vertical H on the breach, my personal observation has seen Horozontal HP barrels peppered in with the later serial guns. The magazine being a later standard Lanyard loop. The grips have the 15 row grips and  are correct per the Clawson book. The pistol was field stripped and carefully photographed to provide a wide range of detailed views. Buyers are encouraged to thoroughly review the photos to determine the condition and characteristics of this pistol. There are several excellent resources available for reference, such as "Colt .45 Service Pistols" by Charles W. Clawson, that may be useful to s seeking more details, or it is advisable to consult with other sources as needed for due diligence. The subject pistol is over 100 years old and is offered for sale as shown in the photographs. Please study the photographs carefully, the seller offers no representations or guarantees as to condition, originality, suitability for purpose, or end use.
