Manufactured in 1944. Fixed sights, with the two-line, two-block Colt markings and Rampant Colt on the left side of the unnumbered slide, "P" on top and a "GHD" inspected frame with "e/VP" and "35" on the trigger guard. Fitted with a stamped short trigger, wide hammer, checkered slide catch and thumb safety, long grip safety, checkered arched mainspring housing, reinforced Colt grips, unmarked full blue magazine and "COLT 45 AUTO" barrel. Included with the pistol is a fine general officer's gun belt and holster, both constructed from brown russet leather with gilt external fittings. The belt is marked "HICKOK/36" on the interior, with adjustment snaps, 3 integral belt stays, and a two piece round American Eagle buckle, and the holster is unmarked and fitted with a matching colored belt hanger. While not issued explicitly as a "General Officer" pistol during World War II, several generals who responded to Greeley's survey in "The Colt General Officers Pistol" noted procuring and carrying a 1911A1, and it was noted as an authorized general's sidearm in the 1956 regulations.

Excellent, with 98% of the original parkerized finish, showing cycling marks and some mild holster/edge wear. The grips are excellent, with a few light dings on the otherwise sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The holster and belt are both fine, with mild wear appropriate to age and use.
