Produced in 1914 as part of the first serial number block reserved for the Springfield Armory. Blade front and flat top notch rear sights, with the two block Colt patent and Springfield address markings on the left side of the slide ahead of the Ordnance Bomb symbol, the Eagle with shield motif and "MODEL OF 1911.U.S.ARMY." on the right. The Ordnance Bomb is repeated on the frame, with "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" ahead of the slide stop and the serial number on the right. Fitted with a wide knurled hammer, "S" Springfield barrel, short grip safety, long trigger, flat mainspring housing and lanyard staples on the housing and magazine.

Very fine as professionally refinished, showing 99% of the high polish blue finish, with scattered handling marks overall. Grips are near mint, with a few dents on the crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
