Received an answer, that marking comes from a Ballester-Molina 1911 magazine.
Have you seen such marking on a pinned base full blue magazine, no other marks on top of the heel such as L, R, S, or G.
That could be a prewar Colt magazine?
Thank you....
You have a M1911 shipped in mid-1918 to Springfield Armory, this WWI 1911 has been overhauled with small WWII parts like the trigger, grip safety, slide stop, grips. Barrel should have on top of the...

@ mrclark303,
Interesting marking on this nice M1911 Kongsberg.
Do you have the right in UK as a collector to own such pistol not deactivated or is it prohibited?
Well, all I could say It's a beautiful M1911 shipped to Benicia Arsenal California 7//21/14 (88951-89550)
Thanks for your answer, maybe as Ithaca they will find some hidden microfilms. :)

Your Colt M1911A1 shipped May 1943, Serial Numbers Range 909000-943000.
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...
RR August 1944.
Nice M1911A1
I guess the barrel wears HS, and the MSH has 7 ribs. Effectively the hammer does not match, good acquisition.
Concerning where she went, what I found is:
1446874-1453071, quantity 1,000. May 12,...
For as much as I know on early RR checkered MSH is correct until around #1'360xxx, 1'380xxx (1944) than 8 ribs, to EOP.
Concerning these hardened spare slides made after the war, they was repro by Colt or different Arsenal, or did they have enough M1911 spare parts in stock until the M9 adoption.
Any idea, (I'm sure...

Hi John, wow... A dream, kind of a M1911A1 every collectors would like to own, thanks to show us.

We know what looks like the USGI kraft M1911A1 boxes of the five manufacturers from WWII, but I've never seen any M1911 US Army boxes of WWI.
Are anyone seen such item?
Thanks for answers
