Greetings fellow MILSURPS members,

I was at my friend's the other day and she showed me a US ARMY COLT Model of 1911 that just came in. She offered to me but would like to know what you guys think before I say yes or no.

I was wondering if you fine folks could help me out with this one. There is an owner's back story on this 1911 but, no real paperwork to support it that she knows of yet.

The Colt is well work having around 65% to 70% original finish, Grips worn and cracked, looks to be all original and correct parts internal and external. Bore is strong rifling but slightly dark but might just need a good cleaning.

Serial Number # 241199 which puts it at 1918

On the slide under the pattern Apr 20, 1897 section it reads: Sept 9, 1902. Dec 19, 1905, Feb 14 1911


It also comes with a Military holster and duty belt.

Here are some pictures
