U.S. Model 1911 Semi-Auto Pistol by Colt
serial #35156, 45 ACP, 5'' High Standard replacement barrel with an excellent bore. This pre-war pistol has a replacement slide and shows honest use over the years. The metal surfaces have mostly toned to smoky gray and brown with strong restored blue on the sides of the frame and a mottled mix on the top of the slide. There is a scattered freckling of oxidation blemishes, a showing old and new handling marks, and a few light pits. The double diamond checkered walnut grips are period Springfield Armory replacements, the left panel rates very good with light wear and handling marks while the right panel rates good with light to moderate wear. The slide is an earlier replacement, it features the round top rear sight and the patent dates end with February 14, 1911. The remainder of the parts appear correct for the period of manufacture. Major Penfield's acceptance stamp remains strong, as do the other markings. No magazine is included. A salty 1911 that has that ''been there done that'' look. (8A11817-2) {C&R} (1000/1500)
