7/30/20 - This is an original Colt M1911 from 1918. The pistol shows patina and thinning throughout, but no major defects otherwise, just a little freckling on the right side of the slide. Correctly marked barrel and slide. Proper inspectors mark on frame. Barrel has pronounced rifling but some frost and freckling throughout. Grips have some smoothing but no cracks. Proper two-tone magazine.
