1911 Government Model For Evaluation

[Johnny Peppers]

Hello frankie. I have one exactly like yours.I have been trying to find out about it for 20 years.
The C on the trigger guard is non conforming as is the finish(darker than usual).Hold on to it,
as I believe it is a rare configuration.I have discussed it a couple of times on 1911 forums usgi, as they have the heart shaped cut outs
2nd quality Colts
I have pics on Photobucket (bob2777)
I have come across several over the years but most are in what I call poor condition. There are a couple on Gunbroker right now search Colt 1919 ,look for the C on the trigger guard.

Is the C located above the Verified Proof mark on the left front trigger guard?
