Manufactured in 1941 and stamped with the "RS" (Col. Robert Sears) inspection mark on the left side of the frame under the slide stop. The replacement barrel is blue and marked with a "P" and "S" on the left side of the lug; "REPI" on the left side above the lug. The left side of the slide is marked with the Colt patent dates in a two-line block followed by the Rampant Colt and the two-line Hartford address. A "P" is stamped on top of the slide between the ejection port and the rear sight. The right side of the frame is marked with "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" over the serial number, behind the slide stop hole and "M1911A1 U.S. ARMY" ahead of it. A Colt "60" inspection mark is stamped on the right side of the trigger guard bow. "T" and the Colt "VP" proof are stamped on the left side of the trigger guard bow. A "P" proof is stamped behind the magazine release. The pistol has a milled checkered hammer, short checkered trigger, checkered main spring housing, slide stop and safety lock. Brown checkered grips and blue unmarked magazine.

Very fine. The pistol retains 75% plus of the original finish with thinning on the grip straps and numerous spots of pitting visible on the slide and front portion of the frame. The slide is correctly serial numbered to the frame. The grips are excellent with only a few light scuffs on the right panel. All the markings are clear. Mechanically excellent.
