About Us: Estate Sale of Unique Collection


Description:
Used; Colt Government Model of 1911 US ARMY marked; .45 Auto/ACP Caliber; SN 287,1XX with 1918 Year of Manufacture. It looks like a Post-WW-I or WW-II – Era Arsenal Rebuild with Later (Arched) Mainspring Housing, Short Trigger, and other small parts/controls of later manufacture. The Frame and Slide bear Original Colt- and Proper US ARMY markings & Colt- and Inspector’s Cartouches. This one was made before the “1918 Black Army” Serial Number Range - and escaped the minimal polish and rough finish of those later 1918 pistols. It has the Pre- and Post-1918 Rectangular Grip Frame Cut-outs and bears Brown Plastic Grips. The Magazine Toe is Stamped “C-S”. Most of the Original (or Arsenal) Finish remains on the Frame; less on the Slide. The metal varies between smooth patina and mild roughness – with no visible tool/milling marks. The Barrel/Chamber is Stamped "P"; and the bore has pitting with preserved rifling. The Pistol functioned flawlessly with acceptable defensive accuracy during a live-fire safety check. Given the age and probable military rebuild, condition is best judged by the photos. Please ask any questions or request additional information before purchase as this item will be troublesome and costly to return owing to CA re-registration and other regulations. Any refunds will be minus our actual shipping cost and FFL fees (greater than $150) after buyer pays return shipping. The listed price Includes Insured Air Shipping from a CA FFL Dealer to yours. Payment is by Money Order, Bank (Certified) Check or Personal Check (held 2-3 days). We are the Estate Executor and Trustee, not a dealer, and cannot handle credit card or electronic payments. This item is subject to prior sale.
