Real nice John. But I thought the Navy guns were marked Model of 1911 U.S. NAVY? I do not know much at all on these and am just wondering if the Navy guns were marked as such in the 1918 time frame.

The last Navy marked Colt was 110000. All 1911s were marked U. S. ARMY after that...The Colt above was in a shipment of 1,600 guns that were shipped to the Navy in 1918 and they are Army marked!!! Later 1911s and 1911A1s that went to the Navy are hard to identify!!!
