COLT 1911 mfg. 1918

Guts,
I wonder if there's a chance he had this slide set up for shooting.
Possible there might be another (correct) slide there at the house for that gun.
Sure worth asking if he has extra parts.

Good luck,

Excellent observation P-777 that would be cool if the original slide was available. Also thanks to SG for your info. Reminds me why I sent off for that 1911 Clawson book and picture CD. Knowledge is power, or something like that.

I just looked at the picture of the left side again and this is like a tool to learn or see the comparison of serif and non serif stamping. I know the serif P on the Garands but didn't even observe the difference here until you pointed it out, thanks.

I ws able to purchase the pistol for $900.
