Manufactured in 1918 with fixed blade front and flat top rear sights, the three-line Colt patent dates and Remington Arms address on either side of the circled "REMINGTON/UMC" trademark on the left side of the slide and "MODEL OF 1911/U.S. ARMY CALIBER .45" on the right, a wide knurled hammer, short grip safety, long trigger, flat mainspring housing and a pair of checkered grips. "UNITED STATES PROPERTY", "E.E.C." and "eagle head" on the left side of the frame, "19" and "E" on the trigger guard, and the barrel is marked "P/H" on top of the chamber.

Fine, with 60% of the original dark blue finish, showing a brown patina on the grip straps, scattered minor spotting, and handling marks. The grips are very good with moderate wear overall. The barrel throat has been altered, otherwise mechanically fine. These U.S. M1911's are difficult to find in this fine of condition!
