Fixed sights, with an "intersecting broad arrow" military release stamp over the "1918" frame date, the commercial address "HOLLAND & HOLLAND, 98 NEW BOND St., LONDON" on top of the "739" numbered barrel, and a conversion unit consisting of a barrel sleeve/extended breech and a short unfluted cylinder marked "PARKER-HALE" on the ejector. Fitted with a set of checkered plastic grips marked "M" on the lower edges and a lanyard swivel.

Very good as assembled, with 60% of the blue finish, showing bright edge wear, areas of brown and gray patina, and a few small patches of pitting. The grips are very good, with a few flat spots on the crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.

OC - FINE- all original parts; over 30% original finish, sharp lettering, numerals and design on metal and wood; minor marks in wood.

Manufactured in limited quantities between 1911 and 1922, with a few small batches assembled from available parts up to 1932, the Model 1911 was designed as a training counterpart to the 32 Metropolitan Police Automatic. In ergonomics very similar to the police pistol, the 1911 uses a straight blowback auto-ejecting action, being reloaded by hand. Sold primarily to police forces in the Commonwealth, with limited commercial sales. Fixed Patridge blade and "U" notch sights, with the Webley & Scott address and winged bullet on the left side of the slide, "'22 RIM FIRE.LONG" on the right, and Birmingham proofs on many parts. Fitted with a manual ejector, bright ring hammer, smooth trigger, and checkered grips.

Very good. The pistol shows a level of wear and tear appropriate to a police range ''loaner'' weapon, with a number of scattered dings and dents, particularly on the barrel, with 50% of the original blue, with areas of brown/gray patina, bright edge wear and mild spotting. The moderately worn grips are good, with some scuffs and dings. Mechanically very good to excellent, hand cycles and dry fires correctly. Correction: The firing pin works and moves freely.
