Description:
RARE COLT 1937 MANUFACTURED 1911A1. SERIAL NO. 711705. NO MILITARY PISTOLS WERE PRODUCED BY COLT BETWEEN THE END OF1924 AND THE END OF 1936. THE GOVERNMENT IN 1937 THOUGHT WE BETTER START PREPARING SO COLT WAS CALLED UPON TO BUILD A VERY SMALL NUMBER OF THE NEW 1911A1 PISTOLS IN 1937. ONLY 2349 WERE PRODUCED. THIS PISTOL WAS SHIPPED TO COMMANDING OFFICER SPRINGFIELD ARMORY IN A SHIPMENT OF 244 GUNS ON AUGUST 4TH 1937 AND THEN ISSUED TO THE NAVY. THIS WAS THE LAST YEAR THAT THE SLIDE WAS STILL MARKED MODEL OF 1911. IN 1938 THE NEW MODEL1911A1 NAME WAS USED. THIS EXAMPLE, I BELIEVE , IS ONE OF THE BETTER ORIGINAL CONDITION EXTANT. 98-99% ORIGINAL FACTORY BRUSHED BLUE. THERE ARE A FEW MINUTE MARKS AND TINY SCRATCHES PRESENT AS SHOWN IN PICS. BARREL HAS SHARP RIFLING WITH A LITTLE FROST. P PROOFS ON SLIDE ,FRAME, AND BARREL. GRIPS ARE EXCELLENT. FIRST YEAR THAT THE SLIDE WAS ALSO STAMPED WITH SERIAL NO.. ACTION IS FINE. SERIAL NO.710384 , WHICH I HAD PREVIOUSLY OWNED, WAS SOLD IN ROCK ISLAND IN AUGUST 2023 FOR $38,000. THIS PISTOL I AM OFFERING NOW IS A HIGHER CONDITION EXAMPLE. A GREAT ONE! OUT OF MY PERSONAL COLLECTION. PLEASE CALL 973-214-3407 WITH QUESTIONS. FFL PLEASE THANKYOU
