Colt 1911 serial # 2851xx made in 1918 . I thought someone ground off the U.S. property but the originan finish looks perfectly the same. I put a micrometer on the frame and it reads .756 everywhere from one end to the other. My best guess is that it was never stamped. to remove the leters would reduce thickness in the frame by at least .005" ?
