Description
3/6/25 – This is a scarce and interesting Ithaca / Colt 1911A1. It has a Colt frame from World War I era with X-prefix serial number. These guns are reported to have been examples whose serial number was rendered illegible. They were arsenal refinished at the Springfield Armory and given a new serial number with X-prefix so that they wouldn’t be duplicates.This one has a WW2-era Ithaca slide and a parkerized WW2-era High Standard barrel. Fitted with reddish plastic grips. The gun shows virtually no finish loss – just a few tiny dings at the back right of the slide. Mint bore.
