Measuring 32 inches tall, 50 inches long and 8 inches wide, this is a large scale model of a Colt Model 1911A1 Semi-Automatic Pistol. The slide is mobile, with the hammer spring loaded to move out of the way, a mobile slide catch and a function magazine catch, which when depressed releases a scale model magazine. A length of pipe extends down from the trigger guard, with two reinforcing sections on the front strap for mounting the display on the included floor stand. Also included is a black painted hardwood transport case. The top of the slide has been marked "SCC/ RET AEA" and "9999/ 253106/ 9075 0010 1/6 9067" on top around the ejection port. According to a notarized affidavit from a previous owner, this was used as a training aid by the U.S. Navy and eventually became part of the inventory of Patrick Air Force Base (formerly Naval Air Station Banana River) in Florida, and the slide markings were added when it was disposed of by the Air Force.

Excellent, with a few mild handling marks overall. The magazine shows a pair of deep cuts in the left side. This is an absolute must for the serious 45 automatic collector!
