Manufactured 1944. Serrated slope front sight, square notch flat top rear sight. "P" proof in front of rear sight. Left side of slide with 2 line 2 block patent and address information with intercepting pony. Slide with distinct 2 tone temper line. Barrel with "COLT 45 AUTO" on left side of chamber, "P" on left lug. Right side of frame with crossed cannon cartouche, "UNITED STATES PROPERTY", serial number, "M1911A1 U.S. ARMY". "G.H.D." proof on left side of frame, double stamped. Appropriate proofs on trigger guard. "P" proof near checkered magazine release. Coltwood grips with thick reinforcing rings. Small parts comprise narrow serrated hammer, thick tab safety, checkered slide release, checkered magazine release, checkered stamped trigger, long 1911A1 grip safety, arched serrated mainspring housing. CONDITION: Very good as rebuilt and refinished, possibly at factory. Some small parts are not correct for this serial number range and upon close inspection, Drewery's double stamped cartouche appears to have been done at two different times. Some minor handling marks throughout. Some softness to legends due to a careful repark. Action works appropriately when cycled by hand, bore is very good with strong rifling. EMW
