Produced in 1915 as part of the fourth serial number block reserved for the Springfield Armory. Blade front and flat top notch rear sights The two-block Colt patent and Springfield address markings are on the left side of the slide ahead of the ordnance bomb symbol. The eagle with shield motif and "MODEL OF 1911.U.S.ARMY." are on the right. The ordnance bomb is repeated on the frame with "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" ahead of the slide stop and the serial number on the right. Fitted with a wide knurled hammer, short grip safety, long trigger, flat mainspring housing and lanyard staples on the housing and correct Springfield produced loop magazine.

Very fine with 60% plus of the original dull military blue finish primarily found on the frame. The balance is a smooth gray/brown patina with some edge wear on the high points and scattered small scratches. Grips are very good with well defined, though somewhat smoothed, checkering, small indentations and minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
