    M1911A1 Barrel Marking

    I have a 1942 Colt M1911A1 with barrel markings -
    On the underside in front of the lugs is a small "s"
    On the chamber (visible through the ejection port) is the number "14"
    The barrel finish is a dull metal colour.
    The frame has a 779xxx serial number.
    Can anyone help with identification of this barrel?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Barrel should be blue, marked COLT45AUTO on left side, P on left side of Barrel Lug and a Small G or Large G (size both are capitol) On bottom of barrel just forward of barrel lug. I think in your serial number was still using small G being used.
