Description
11/11/26 - This is a beautiful Colt Model 1911A1, manufactured in 1943, that was supplied to the United Kingdom under the World War II Lend-Lease Program. The right side of the frame correctly bears the "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" and "M1911A1 U.S. ARMY" markings, and the slide, frame, and barrel carry the proper British proof stamps applied upon release from British service. The original parkerized finish rates about 99%, with just a few tiny and very light surface scratches here and there and one small dot of oxidation on the left side of the slide. Fitted with period-correct reddish plastic grips and comes with one unmarked magazine. Very nice bore with strong rifling and some very light pin-pricking throughout. A near-pristine WWII Colt with interesting Lend-Lease history.
