Looks good, I have one a little later in the year. Serial # match under firing pin plate?
Correct M1911A1 shipped around May 1943, I can guess German proofs on it as this pistol as been sold commercially, I can't see the other mark front of serial number, looks like a number.
Is the serial number match slide & frame? ( under the firing pin plate) :)
Sure! Slide and frame are matching number!

It looks very nice. This one was made 1-2 months earlier:

I just picked up a colt 1911a1 s/n 9178XX but it does not have any initials or an armory stamp on it anywhere like the ones posted above. The slide and frame match serial numbers. Maybe someone can shed some light on this.
Your Colt M1911A1 shipped May 1943, Serial Numbers Range 909000-943000.Quote:

Mikecp,
Thanks for the info.. When my dealer retired, he had this one in the basement. Also had a LNIB Manurhin. Cost me $2500.00 for both and I don't regret it for a minute.

Great acquisition, congratulations, is the barrel original to the gun?
I like it, they don't come much nicer than that.
Cheers.
The pistol likely was originally lend-leased to Russia. I own a few in the same serial range with the German proofs that are known to be Russian lend-lease examples.
