Nice 1918 made North American Arms Company Limited Colt Model 1911

**owengun** · 04-24-2019 08:13 PM

A friend of mine picked this nice and excellent condition one up recently and I thought I would let people here who have never heard of or seen one, to see what they look like.

Only 100 were made before the US government cancelled the contract with the end of WW1.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

A very rare and coveted piece!

Most that frequent here are familiar, some have never seen on up close though. I saw one in the museum at the Citadel in Quebec City in '96 I think it was. I don't personally know anyone that has one though. Yours didn't travel far in 101 years... Yours is in pretty nice shape, I've seen them displayed in everything from as new to just about done in...

This one sold last year for $218,500 USD!

That answers that then. I was wondering what it sold for. They used to be somewhere around $20,000. We had quite a bunfight about them here years ago...

Very nice and sometimes reproduced. What is the serial number on this one?
