Sold US WW2 COLT 1911A1 US ARMY PISTOL MID 1942 PRODUCTION….WB CARTOUCHED… MATCHING SLIDE….NICE!…..CHRISTMAS SPECIAL PRICE!

This is what everyone thinks of when they think of a WW2 Colt 1911a1 pistol, indeed when Colt made their WW2 reproduction a few years back they copied it after an early 1942 production Waldemar Broberg inspected pistol.  This pistol was shipped from Colt to Springfield Armory on July 2, 1942.  The pistol is in 95% very decent condition and the bore is mint.  The pistol is 100% correct and factory original, the barrel is the correct “large G” marked barrel and the slide is numbered to match the frame.  The grips are the Coltwood  transitional hollow back variation.  Everything on this pistol is original exactly as it left the factory.  This pistol is an exceptional text book example of an Early wartime production Colt 1911a1.  It is as you may well imagine, very tough to get an early war production gun in this original condition, they were sent straight into the fight, many were lost and almost all that returned were re-worked and overhauled unlike this example. This is a nice early Colt with a touch of combat saltiness that many collectors will just fall in love with.  It really speaks to you…….this pistol was somebody’s best friend from 1942-1945 and maybe much longer.
