Excellent World War II 1941 Production U.S. Colt Model 1911A1 Semi-Automatic Pistol

Manufactured in 1941, the Robert Sears inspected Colts marked the transition point from Colt's high polish blue to the parkerization treatment that would become the standard for the rest of the war, with this example having received the blue finish before the transition. Clawson's "Colt .45 Service Pistols: Models of 1911 and 1911A1" lists this pistol in a shipment of 3,150 pistols on 28 June 1941, on p. 396. The left side of the matching numbered slide has the two-line, two-block, patent dates and address with the Rampant Colt between, and the right side of the slide is correctly devoid of markings. The right side of the frame has the U.S. property marking, serial number, and model designation, with "60" on the trigger guard. The left side of the frame has the boxed "R.S." Robert Sears inspection mark, "P" proof, and "W" over "VP" proof on the trigger guard. The top of the slide also has a "P" proof. The blued barrel is marked "COLT 45 AUTO" on the lower left, "P" on the left of the lug, and "G" on the bottom in front of the lug. Fitted with blade and notch sights, wide checkered hammer, short checkered trigger, long grip safety, arched checkered mainspring housing with a lanyard loop, a full blue "C-S" and "S" marked magazine, and a correct pair of "hollow-back" non-reinforced checkered plastic grips.

ConditionExcellent, retains 95% of the original blue finish with some very light edge wear and some scattered patches of light surface oxidation. The grips are excellent with a few scattered very light handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
