Measures about 4 1/4" long and 1/2" wide, with a "black army" style finish and checkered diamond panel grips. Markings are a mix of commercial "Government Model" and military "1911" style, with a serial number of "003". Not capable of firing live ammo, but will hand cycle the two included dummy cartridges. With a purple velvet lined hard case and a miniature Government Model case. Very good to excellent overall.
