Seller's Description
This is a very nice Colt "Model of 1911 U.S. Army" that was manufactured in early 1918 during World
War One. This pistol is in very nice original condition. It carries the GHS inspection stamp of Major
Gilbert H. Stewart. All of the various components are correct for a pistol in this serial number range
and the wear is consistent throughout. The factory original brushed blue finish is in very good
condition with some normal minor wear and a few handling marks. There is some thinning and
There is no significant rust or pitting and I'd grade the factory original finish at about 93-95%
overall. The original diamond checkered grips are correct with 15 rows of checkering between the
large diamonds. The grips are in very good condition with some minor wear but no cracks or chips.
This pistol is in perfect mechanical condition with everything functioning exactly as it should. The
barrel has the correct vertically stacked "P H" proof/inspection markings over the chamber and has a
bore that rates "good" with sharp rifling and areas of moderate fine pitting (perfectly shootable!). It
comes with an excellent condition WWI era 2-tone contract magazine that was manufactured by
Barnes & Kobert Mfg. Co.. According to factory records, this pistol was shipped to the Commanding
Officer, Ordnance Depot 6, American Expeditionary Forces (A.E.F.) France on January 3, 1918.
If you've been wanting to add a clean original Colt 1911 to your collection or simply want to upgrade
to a better example, this pistol would make a fine candidate!
