Manufactured in 1917 and shipped to Springfield Armory on 5 April 1917, well before the end of World War I. The left of the slide is marked with the two-line, two-block patent dates and address with the Rampant Colt behind the serrations, while the right has the standard "MODEL OF 1911 U.S. ARMY" marking. The left of the frame has the U.S. property marking and "GHS" inspection mark and the serial number is on the right. The full blued barrel is marked "HS" and "P" on either side of the lug. Fitted with blade and notch sights, wide checkered hammer, long smooth trigger, short grip safety, diamond pattern checkered grips, and an unmarked two-tone magazine with lanyard loop base. Includes a "1918" dated Warren Leather Goods Co. marked "US" leather holster.

Fine, retains 40% of the original blue finish with the balance having thinned to a smooth grey-brown patina, most noticeably on the grip straps and high spots. The grips are very good with a few scattered minor dings and flat spots, and otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The holster is fine overall.
