This is a 1915-made pistol that has retained practically all of an overall armory quality reapplied blue finish with London proofs on the left rear of both the slide and frame. Additionally, the London Armoury Company’s "JJ" stamp is quite sharp on the left side of the frame, just above the trigger guard bow leg (LAC was Colt’s British agent during WW1). The barrel has been polished bright, and is an "HS" marked, Hi-Standard WW2 production barrel. The trigger retains about 40-50% blue with the balance turned to a mottled gray patina. The checkered double-diamond grips are in fine shape, with only minor wear and flattening to the points, mostly present on the left panel. The pistol comes with a single "L" marked contract magazine (M.S. Little Co. of Hartford, CT). This is a fine example of a WW1 era Model 1911 that was sent to Britain, then refurbished during or just after WW2. FFL or C&R SOLD |
