Many M1911 and M1911A1 pistols were reworked. This is an interesting such rework. The M1911 frame is only marked “UNITED STATES PROPERTY” over the serial number 552874, behind the slide stop pin. The only other markings are the Springfield inspectors mark (eagle head over S8) and 23 on the trigger guard. Slid is marked Colt but has no model markings. Finish is a black patina. Grips are replacements, probably Vietnam era. Magazine is not an original.

Firearms may only be shipped to a licensed dealer (FFL Holder) - If you are not a licensed dealer, you must make arrangements with a dealer in your state to receive the firearm and transfer it to you.

DISCLAIMER: All firearms are sold as collector's items only - we do not accept responsibility as to the shooting safety or reliability of any antique firearm. All firearms are described as accurately as possible, given the restraints of a catalog listing length. We want satisfied customers & often "under" describe the weapons. Any city or state regulations regarding owning antique firearms are the responsibility of the purchaser. All firearms are "mechanically perfect" unless noted, but again, are NOT warranted as safe to fire.
