Should be. Is it as manufactured or was it upgraded for WWII?

No pictures. Pictures would help us see what you have.

some quick pics of the 1911
It appears correct and free of upgrades, even the combined PH barrel would be original. The finish on these "Black Armies" wore quickly, as was the case with yours and Colt didn't use it in the 1911A1's, which came out in 1924 at about serial number 700,000. If it were mine I wouldn't change a thing and just keep it clean and oiled.
Nice honest looking old pistol...Quote:
