Description

11/2/23 - This is an original Colt 1911 from 1918 with Black Army finish. To increase production, Colt modified the finishing processes to speed things along and it resulted in a finish that was almost black. The quality was lower and this finish would wear down and "flake" much quicker, as you see on this pistol. Many of the small parts had been outsourced or finished previously, so it's common to see the finish on small parts of these pistols be in much better condition, which is what you see here. The finish is almost entirely worn with obvious brown patina throughout. Fitted with fairly worn wood grips and comes with one period-correct two-tone magazine. Mint bore. The barrel has a vertical "H" marking on the hood, but we do not believe it is original.
