COLT ARMY MODEL 1917 in .45 ACP Made in 1919

Description:
COLT Army Model 1917 Revolver Made in 1919, chambered for .45 ACP with 5 Full Moon Clips. This is a great example of a nice original Army revolver that has had light use but at some point was stored improperly. When I purchased it, there was some light surface rust that I removed with some gun oil and a paper towel. There is light pitting on the left side of the revolver and far less on the right side. Mechanically, the gun is tight and the action is solid and in time. The bore is good and the riflings are sharp. The grips look to be original but have shrink slightly, and the right grip seems to have been sanded where it meets the front strap. The metal has not been altered or refinished in any way. The sights are fixed and the front sight is shaped like a shark's fin. The photos show the original machining marks and these show how the gun was originally finished. 
This historical Colt Army 1917 is 106 years old and fires perfectly. It is marked "United States Property". The Colt Stallion is clear and sharp. There is a circle above the cylinder latch that has what appears to be a JM- inside of it. I don't know if it is an inspectors mark or what else it could be. This one comes with 5 full moon clips so that you can easily load and shoot it.
I have done my best to take good, clear photos that accurately show the condition. Please look at them carefully and contact me with questions. Thanks for looking!
