Description
2/18/25 – This is a very nice example of a Colt Model 1911 that was originally manufactured in 1918 and issued to the US military during WW1. As evidenced by the “AA” Augusta Arsenal marking on the left side of the frame, it was arsenal re-worked for use during WW2. The entire gun has been parkerized. Also comes fitted with an excellent set of WW2-era reddish-brown plastic grips. It comes as a rig with a tan leather hoslter , two WW2-era “L” marked magazines, and two post-WW2 magazines. The gun does not show much wear, just some minor muzzle wear. The bore shows obvious surface oxidation and pitting.
