Rare U.S. Navy Animated Transparency, Cal. 45 Auto Pistol Training Device

This is a U.S. Navy/U.S.M.C. training device for the Model 1911A1 pistol. The device consists of a transparent, plastic cut-away Model of a 1911A1 pistol in an aluminum case. Movement of four external levers demonstrates the various cycling/functions of the 1911A1 pistol. Screwed to the bottom left corner of the base is a 1956 dated metal nomenclature/property tag stamped "ANIMATED TRANSPARENCY, CAL .45 AUTO PISTOL" with serial number 37. With aluminum case that houses the training device and five see through bullets.

ConditionFine with moderate wear. The device appears to be complete. The case exterior has numerous minor scratches and shows moderate handling wear and inside foam blocks disintegrating. Mechanically functions although the hammer drops without engaging the trigger sear due to a broken trigger end. Some pieces of plastic are detached within the case. In writer's opinion, one of the most unique accessory items to add to your M1911A1 collection!
