Description
3/25/20 – This is an original Colt M1911 that was manufactured in 1918, at the end of the Great War.The original bluing doesn’t show much actual bluing loss, rating at 85-90% with most of the wear on the back strap.But there is a notable oxidation and patina all over the gun.Proper inspector mark on frame, and intertwined HP proof on barrel.This serial should have disconnect P H by the book, as it dates to earlier portion of 1918, and intertwined HP is later in 1918.The intertwined HP barrel is still a scarce barrel and correct for a large portion of 1918, so we have kept them together.Nice wood grips, with some handling wear on both panels.Two-tone magazine.Bore has strong rifling but unfortunately it does have some freckling/corrosion in the grooves.
