Produced in 1917. Fixed sights, with the two line, two block Colt patents and address on the left side of the slide, Rampant Colt behind the serrations and "MODEL OF 1911 U.S. ARMY" on the right and "H" above the firing pin stop. Fixed square profile rear sight, with the edges ground down. Major Gilbert Smith's "GHS" inspector mark and "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" on the left side of the frame, with "No" style serial number on the right. Fitted with the long trigger, wide checkered hammer, short grip safety, checkered slide stop and thumb safety and flat mainspring housing with lanyard staple. Chamber marked "P/ H" parallel to the bore, checkered hardwood grips with diamond patterns around the screws and an unmarked two tone magazine. Included with the pistol is a brown leather "US" marked holster, "ROCK ISLAND/ ARSENAL/ 1916" stamped on the rear, leather magazine pouch, "US" and "J.Q.M.D./ 1948/ E.N.S." on the rear, two extra magazines and eight 20-round boxes of Peters ammunition, some sealed.

Excellent, with approximately 90-95% of the blue finish. A bright gray patina is forming on the high edges, strongest around the muzzle, with a brown and gray patina forming on the grip straps and hints of brown on the top of the slide. Grips are fine, with exception of a large dent on the right side and scattered pressure dents and scratches. Mechanically excellent. The holster is mildly scuffed with a brass wire in place of the belt hanger, and the pouch is excellent with a few light scratches. Ammunition boxes range from fair to very good.
