Manufactured in 1918. Fixed blade front and flat top rear sights, with the two-line, two block Colt patents and address divided by the Rampant Colt logo on the left side of the slide and "MODEL OF 1911.U.S. ARMY" (sans-serif) on the right. The "eagle head/S14" inspection mark is present on the frame along with the "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" marking, a "H" above the firing pin stop and an unjoined "P/H" on the chamber. Fitted with a long smooth trigger, wide checkered hammer, short grip safety, checkered slide stop and thumb safety, flat mainspring housing with lanyard staple, checkered grips and an unmarked two-tone magazine.

Excellent, showing 95% of the original "black army" style blue finish, with some patches of brown patina on the grip straps and slide, bright edge wear and scattered handling marks. The grips are very fine, with a few scratches (one noticeable on upper left panel around grip screw) and sharp checkering. Safety is a bit stiff, otherwise mechanically excellent.
