Colt Argentine Contract Model 1927 Semi-Auto Pistol
serial #6235, 45 ACP, 5'' barrel with a lightly oxidized and pitted bore showing evident rifling. This pistol shows use over the years and has been arsenal refurbished. The metal surfaces retain about 90% arsenal restored blue, most of the loss to varying degrees of high edge wear, the straps toning to a mix of pewter and brown, handling marks, and some previous pitting under the new finish. The fully checkered walnut factory grips rate fair to good showing moderate to sometimes heavy diamond point wear, and handling marks. This pistol has features found on the vaunted Model 1911A1 such as a half-moon front sight, ''U'' notch rear sight; short, checkered trigger, long grip safety, and it appears to function mechanically. It is correctly serial numbered on the frame under the arched mainspring housing, it bears the model number and Argentine crest on the right side of the slide, and the Colt address on the left side of the slide. The pistol includes a single seven-round Argentine contract magazine that is numbered to another gun. A very good example of the Government Model supplied to fulfill early contract requirements before Argentina started manufacture of the pistol. (8B11739-54) {C&R} (1000/1500)
