Exceptional Early 1941 Production U.S. Contract "CSR" Inspected Colt Model 1911A1 Semi-Automatic Pistol

Manufactured in 1941, before the U.S. entry to World War II and before Colt made the switch to parkerization as the standard wartime finish on 1911A1 pistols. The left side of the slide is marked with the two-line/two-block address separated by the Rampant Colt, "CSR" inspected frame with "T/VP" proof, matching "P" proofs on the frame and slide, and standard U.S. property and Army nomenclature on the right of the frame. It is fitted with blade and notch sights, checkered slide catch, checkered thumb safety, and wide spur hammer, long grip safety, and arched checkered mainspring housing with lanyard loop. The full blue barrel is marked "COLT 45 AUTO" on the lower left and "P" stamped on the left of the lug. It is fitted with fully checkered walnut grips and a full blue magazine marked "COLT/45 AUTO" on the base. Includes two extra modern, non-factory magazines.

ConditionExceptionally fine, retains 85% plus of the original blue finish with the balance having faintly thinned to a smooth grey patina, primarily on the grip straps and some edges, and a minor takedown mark on the left of the frame. The grips are fine with some mild wear concentrated at the bottom of the panels and some scattered light blemishes in the otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
