A Model 1911 US Army is an Army pistol issued to the Navy and is not a US Navy Issue. US Navy issues are thase which have the slide stamped US NAVY.

This is a Colt marked MODEL OF 1911, U.S. ARMY that was shipped to and "ISSUED" to the U.S. Navy.. So it is a NAVY COLT.
I own many MODEL OF 1911, U.S. ARMY, MODEL OF 1911, U.S. NAVYs, and I also own many M 1911A1 U.S. ARMYs that were shipped to and issued to the U.S. NAVY... In my opinion, if any M1911 or M1911A1 were shipped directly to the NAVY, they are NAVY issued pistols. If fact virtually my entire collection are pistols were shipped to, and issued by the NAVY.
If you wish to get into a semantics contest, be my guest, however this is my only post on the subject...

John: Please look at the left grip panel and tell us if you think it is an original Colt grip that has been incorrectly re-cut with 19 rows of checkering...or a newer, aftermarket grip.
I think I've seen some newer grips with the fine checkering, but do not recall where. Perhaps the grip panel is marked on the back side?
Thanks.
