OLD COLT: WE PROVIDE THE PUBLIC WITH AN ONLINE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE FOR OLD COLT GUNS.
This Colt M1911 originally shipped to the Commanding Officer at Springfield Armory in Springfield, Massachusetts on August 17th, 1917 in a 500 gun shipment.
At some point in this pistols life, it was returned to Colt for repair or refinishing. It currently has a commercial slide and barrel as it was most likely repaired sometime post WWI based on the slide roll marks. There is a K on the right side trigger guard that indicates this work was done at Colt.
