Description:
Price reduced again for this outstanding Colt M1911A1 pistol s/n 865232. Comes with letter from Colt Archives stating this pistol was made on Dec 24,1942 and was shipped on January 6,1943 to Commanding Officer, Springfield Armory. Condition is excellent. There is a ton of original parkerized finish remaining, 98% or better by my estimate. The finish has the frosty, slightly rough appearance found only on parkerized guns in very high condition. There is very little edge wear.  Slide has matching serial number under the firing pin stop. The slide is marked with Colt commercial roll markings. Serial number, small GHD cartouche, ordnance acceptance mark are all stamped through the finish indicating finish is original and unaltered. Feed ramp and grip screw bushings are in the white. Wear marks on the barrel breach match wear marks on the slide face and frame indicating that the barrel is original to the gun. Barrel is marked Colt 45 Auto and P on the right side and large G on the bottom in front of the lug. Barrel retains most of the original blued finish. Bore is bright and shiny with no visible defects. Front grip strap retains nearly all finish. The only detractions to this gun are two spots of discoloration on the right side and a minor take down mark. These  are barely visible unless seen in bright outdoor light. This pistol is one of 6575 unsold commercial models that were parkerized, re-serialed, and applied to Colt’s military contract. The top of the frame of this gun is marked S (for sales) by the disconnector. There is a round hole in the frame and a rectangular cut-out on the underside of  the slide for the commercial Swartz safety. Small parts are all correct and retain nearly all original finish. Grips are wide ring, hollow back with mold numbers, without reinforcing ribs. Grips are excellent. Comes with excellent pre -war Colt commercial magazine. Mag is pinned base and retains the majority of original finish, although mag finish has thinned to a brown patina. Mag baseplate is parkerized and marked Colt 45 Auto in “squashed” font. This is a high condition Colt military/commercial model 1911A1 that will be an excellent addition to anyone’s collection. Price is $5695 plus $125 shipping and insurance. Please call with questions or email for a link to a bunch more pictures.
