Manufactured in 1915. The two line, two block Colt patents and address is on the left side of the slide, the Rampant Colt behind the serrations, "H" above the firing pin stop and "MODEL OF 1911.U.S.ARMY" on the right. Frame is marked "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" on the left side with the "GHS" inspector cartouche, and underlined "o" in "No" on the right side. Long trigger, wide checkered hammer, short grip safety, checkered slide stop and thumb safety, flat mainspring housing with lanyard staple, checkered grips with diamond patterns around the screws, unmarked two-toned pinned-base magazine and barrel marked "P H" on top of the chamber.

Fine, with 60% of the original blue finish, showing a mixed brown patina on the grip straps, mixed gray on the underside of the frame and sides of the slide, bright edge wear, light dings and scattered spotting, with a few deeper patches of rough oxidization on the front right of the slide and on top forward of the rear sight. The grips are very good, with some mild dings. Mechanically excellent.
