Colt 70 Series 1911 unfired I picked up.

The Grips are 100 percent correct and are most likely original to the pistol. Original Colt mfg. Series 70 magazines will be marked COLT .45 AUTO. and have a drain hole in the bottom front it. Later Series 70 contract magazines made by Metalform have the letter M and a Rampant Colt along with COLT 45 AUTO on the base. They also have the drain hole in front and a weld running down the length of the mag on the back.
