Manufactured in 1945, the last year of Colt production for the U.S. contract Model 1911A1 pistols. Features fixed blade front and notch rear sights, blued barrel marked "P" and "square C" on the recoil lug, the standard two-line, two-block address and patent dates marking with "rampant colt" on the left of the slide, checkered thumb safety, slide stop, and narrow hammer, an arched serrated mainspring housing with lanyard loop at the bottom. The left of the frame bears a "G.H.D." (Lt. Col. Guy H. Drewry) inspector mark and "6/VP" on the trigger guard and "P" proof, while the right side bears the serial number, model, U.S. property markings, and "crossed" cannons ordnance proof along with "91" on the trigger guard. Fitted with a pair of brown checkered plastic "Coltwood" grips and "S" marked full blued magazine.

Excellent plus, nearly as issued, retaining 98% plus original parkerized finish with minor cycling wear on the barrel and slide, but otherwise limited mild handling marks. Grips are also excellent with crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. An exemplary specimen of a 1945 production U.S. Colt M1911A1 pistol.
