The pistol is complete with two-tone WWI magazine. The barrel chamber is correctly stamped with a "P" proof on the top.

The dull blue finish is thin on the grip strap and main spring housing and shows light edge wear on the slide at the muzzle and high points. The "E.E.C." markings and serial numbers appear to have been stamped after the pistol was finished and are bright on the inside of the stampings. The barrel chamber has about 60% of the blue finish intact. The walnut stocks have most of the correct two-tone style blue with sharp checkering and only light handling wear. The two-tone magazine near mint. All markings are sharp. A representative example of a scarce Remington UMC M1911 Pistol
