1915??
James,
I looked up the serial no. on military Colts and it doesn't appear as a military Colt.
Could it be the C stands for commercial ?? How did you find it was made in 1915 ??

The "C" number indeed means it's a commercial.

The book that might very well have the shipping info for your commercial pistol is The Government Models, by William Goddard. If it was in the Colt records, it should be listed. Won't be much more than a one line entry, showing "shipped to" and date of shipment. Don't have my copy handy, sorry!

Goddard's book has serial numbers C19922 - C28371 as purchased by the French
Government and shipped 20-21 December 1915.
