    Colt 1911 Government Model C3019

    Good evening,

    I finally lettered Colt Government Model C3019 that has been in my collection for a while now.

    Shipped to Joseph A. Marks and Company in Detroit with one other pistol on April 17th 1913.

    I suspect this *may* have been purchased by a Canadianicon soldier for service in WWI. Detroit is near the Ontario border and these were a popular firearm with members of the CEF. The pistol surfaced in a Montreal estate.

    The pistol is all original including the barrel, keyhole magazine, and 'fire blue' small parts.







    All comments welcome!

    -Steve

    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.

    Beautiful polish and blue on those era guns. I'm wondering if that gun went through WW1 on a man's hip. Not much wear and tear to finish to suggest that. Hard to know though.
    Regards, Jim

    Here is one close in serial C3042 shipped to Ohio on the 10 of April 1913. Mine appears original with keyhole magazine as well. My only question is about early commercial magazines. Some said they have a high polish bottom? I have never seen such a mag, please post if someone has one.

    Nice! Looks exactly like mine. I believe C3017 was posted on another forum at one point, just two off from mine. -Steve
