No rebuild stamp, either. Interesting piece of history you have there.

Nice
Makes a Series 70 look like a youngster
May I ask about the front sight? Did you put that on what brand is it? Thanks Hank

Is this gun "in the white", or does it have some type of finish on it? Oh, and those grips come from the 1970s, I have a pair like that on a 70's factory matte nickel Commander.

i thought it was nickeled or something, but others have asked if its in the white.... How do I tell? My guess is if its in the white, the price could be way too low. That is why I priced it as a finish applied.

The sights are not named, but are nice.
It does look like it's in the white, but I cannot swear to it.

I received a message from someone with some knowledge on these. He confirmed it is a 1918 frame but most other visible parts are various from the 20's timeframe. He believes it is I the white so make a reblue easier, but needs better polishing.

polish it anymore and there won't be much left. love those 1911's.

It's a fully functional respectable Colt with some awesome history for sure.........Sunday bump. Reasonable offers considered, but again, it's a fully functional Colt 1911.
