Pre-war 1941 Colt inspected by Robert Sears who worked from 1937-41 only. The finish appears to be a Colt parkerized type that with added manganese is an almost black dull finish with visible slide temper line. The right side of frame has "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" and "M1911A1 US ARMY". The left side of frame has the RS stamp for Robert Sears along with proof P which is also stamped on top of frame. Parts include checkered wide spur hammer, checkered short trigger, Keyes type brown plastic grips, checkered arched mainspring housing with loop, type II rear sight with beveled edge U notch. Slide stop and safety are checkered. CONDITION: There is some minor muzzle wear. Finish still remains at 99% with just light handling marks and drag line on chamber.. Fine bore and crisp action. Any Sears inspected Colt is highly desirable as they all pre-date Pearl Harbor and this example is a prime condition example. DB
