Rick,
Here's a couple of shots of the stake marks and position of the flip sight on 6084458. With the German blue finish it may be a little difficult to see especially on the left side. Very tiny...
Very nice. Here's a link to a discussion on the Bavarian, CMP forum. Best regards.
Bavarian Rock-Ola 6 million - CMP Forums
Nice find. Recently had the opportunity to pick up a Rock 6 million Bavarian as delivered from CMP. The 6 million range is a tough one to come by. How close?
...
Charlie,
Here's one in the first 8000 range with an unmarked type 2 that I believe is original to the carbine. Before anyone ask, the round punch mark is correct for staking the rear early script...
Looks like Sam Lisker owned this one at one time.
Colt Pistols and Revolvers for Firearms Collectors - Model 1911A1 U.S. Army .45 ACP Collector's Information
Wow! Very nice. I'm guessing shipped in the second shipment. It looks identical to mine only better condition. Do you have one of the other side? Thanks for sharing!
Also curious if you have any...
Broke it down for a detailed strip and almost could not budge the MSH. Lots of dried oil and or grease making it very sticky. Finally got some cloud cover and here's a coulple of parting shots....
Interesting about total interchangeability being achieved about the same time that the tolerances were relaxed to the point that Colt no longer felt it necessary to number the slides.
Other than a...
Now we just need the pretty girls!
Very nice. From 1924?
Awesome!! Works for me! :D
And please thank your daughter for her service!
Thank you sir! This information will be permanently kept with the pistol.
Again, I can not stress the importance and convenience your website has afforded me with many detailed photos of several...
Thanks guys. The LGS that handled the transfer jokingly said it was previously owned by James Bond. lol
Glad to be the next caretaker on this one. Tough to find, lot's of competition, and...
Charlie,
How do we know that one served in the Navy vs. the Army? :)
Thank you sir!
Thank you. Yes, the grips are wood with 28 diamonds between the holes.
Thank you Scott. Most especially thank you for providing a website that allows a collector like me to look at known originals. That has been a tremendous help.
A very good friend helped me to...
Deleted Davids' photos per his requesta.

Very interesting variation. I hope to one day have one in the collection.
I'm just amazed that an example like yours has survived 100 years to be in such excellent condition.
It obviously was not left under the front seat of a pickup truck.
Someone did not use it as...
Very interesting Colt. I did not know when they began to transition the commercial models but if it were not for the flat MSH, early GS, and diamond checkered grips this one would appear to be...
Very nice example Scott, thanks very much for sharing.
Very nice Jim! I too paid $150 at Dallas Market Hall show about 6-7 years ago. The dealer has offered more than payed and has not since had another. This one is the second type mentioned by Mark...
For those that own an M1A1, this is a pretty neat accessory to have. Mark Bando's website below (scroll down) details two types that were used by actual WWII paratroopers. I have a type 2 and here's...
Fantastic find Scott, congratulations. This is what it's all about!
