Model of 1911 US Army WWI
This was in one of the last shipments from Colt to Bush Terminal, New York for delivery to the American Expeditionary Forces in the fall of 1918. It shoots as good as it looks. Some call these “black” Army 1911’s. Colt was told by the Army to expedite the shipment so they skipped the final polishing step before bluing. One of my grail guns!
