Half moon front sight, U notch flat top rear sight. Left side of slide with correct 3 line 2 block patent and address information with intercepting "REMINGTON UMC" in circle. Right side with "MODEL OF 1911 / U.S. ARMY CALIBER. 45". "E" stamped at top of firing pin retaining plate channel. Barrel marked "P" on hood, oriented to read barrel up. Top of frame stamped "M" near disconnector hole. Left side of dust cover marked "UNITED STATES PROPERTY", "F" on upper left trigger guard, "E.E.C. / (Eagle Head) / E1" above checkered magazine release. E1 proof correct for early guns. Right side of frame with "NO 274". Small parts comprise checkered spurred hammer, checkered slide release with milled undercut, checkered thick tab safety, short 1911 grip safety, smooth flat mainspring housing with lanyard loop, checkered magazine release, long smooth milled trigger. Truncated diamond checkered walnut grips. 2 tone magazine. CONDITION: Very good. Slide is a possible replacement as wear patterns is not commensurate with frame. Slide retains much of the blue finish with some silvering to high edges and towards muzzle consistent with holster use. One small area of fine pitting above stirrup cut, on right side. Frame retains traces of the blue finish, mostly in protected areas, with balance heavily browned. Magazine release and grip safety are also possible replacements due to wear patterns. Action works appropriately when cycled by hand, bore is excellent. It is unclear if the replacement parts were done in field to fix damaged parts or done later. EMW
