Description:

Manufactured in the third block of serial numbers reserved for Springfield Armory production, this is a fine original example of a U.S. Model 1911 semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Springfield Armory for the United States military. The left side of the slide has the standard three-line Colt patent dates and two-line "SPRINGFIELD ARMORY/U.S.A." markings in two blocks, as well as an ordnance bomb behind the serrations. The right side of the slide is marked with the Department of Defense eagle and "MODEL OF 1911.U.S. ARMY." The left side of the frame has the U.S. property marking and an ordnance bomb near the trigger guard, and the serial number is marked on the right. Features blade and notch sights, checkered wide hammer, short grip safety, and a smooth straight mainspring housing with a lanyard ring. The blued barrel is marked "P" on the left of the lug and "S" on the right. It is fitted with a pair of correct checkered, large diamond pattern, walnut grips and a blued magazine with wraparound base (lanyard loop absent).

Rating Definition:

Fine, retains 50% plus of the original blue finish with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina, a few scattered patches of light surface pitting, and a takedown mark on the frame and slide. The grips are very good with some moderate wear, scattered light handling marks, and otherwise well-defined checkering. Mechanically excellent.
