Thanks, Rick. I'm very happy you like the pistol. It's not too common to find a well worn 1914 that hasn't had a bunch of parts swapped out on it.
That pistol is also in a transitional serial range. One of the first with the 1913 patent date, one of the last with the early Colt small parts with the smoky blue color.
I like the fact the early recoil spring guide has survived with the pointed tips. So many were broken off and had to be replaced. The firing pin stop plate is still the early type, too.
You can never know where all the wear came from, but at least we can know it remained intact after all these years.

Hello Scott. I realized early on that collecting these without expert advice is like running through a minefield. Since these pistols are very expensive in any condition, paying a few extra dollars for one that is correct with documentation to me, is a no brainer. The service you provide to the 1911 collectors, both novice and advanced, is simply outstanding. Thanks for pointing out some of the interesting details in regards to my Colt. Respectfully, Rick.
