Originally assigned for use by Springfield Armory in 1915, the serial range of 127978 to 133186 would be suspended in order to focus on 1903 rifles. While pistols 128617 through 129616 are accounted for in Colt's ledgers, the later pistols in the series went unnoted. Fixed sights, with the two line, two block Colt markings on the left side of the slide, Rampant Colt behind the serrations and "MODEL OF 1911.U.S.ARMY" on the right side. Frame is marked "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" on the left side, serial number on the right with underlined "o" and "H" above the firing pin stop. No inspector's mark (proper). Wide hammer, long smooth trigger, short grip safety, checkered slide stop, thumb safety, smooth mainspring housing, checkered walnut grips with diamond patterns around the screws and a Flannery Bolt Company barrel.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 97% of the original blue finish, showing the start of thinning on the backstrap and scattered light scratches. Grips are excellent, with light pressure dents. Mechanically excellent.
