Colt 1911 Government ”Russian Contract”

[SilverVeteran]

I just bought myself another Colt 1911 Russian Contract.
This one is from the very early part of the contract serial C31377. Most likely spring 1916. Since this serial number is below 50 000, there is no ”ANGL. ZAKAZY” stamp.

This piece has seen a lot more trenches than the previous one.

Looks like it's spent some time wrapped in a cloth.
