SOLD COLT 1911 1914 GUN SHIPPED TO MASS NATIONAL GUARD

IN 92% ORIGINAL CONDITION WE HAVE A NICE EXAMPLE OF A VERY HARD TO FIND MAY 1914 MADE COLT 1911 US ARMY PISTOL. THIS PISTOL WAS ONE OF 900 SENT TO THE MASS NATIONAL GUARD ON MAY 27, 1914, WHICH IS A REAL PLUS FOR COLLECTORS. ALMOST CERTAINLY THIS PISTOL SAW ACTION IN WW1 WITH THE MASS UNITS THAT WENT INTO THE REGUALR ARMY. THE GUN IS 100% CORRECT INCLUDING THE VERY HARD TO FIND ORIGNAL BARREL. THIS PISTOL FEATURES THE EARLY SHORT HAMMER AND WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE LAST PISTOLS WITH THIS BEFORE THE SWITCH TO A LONGER HAMMER. ALTHOUGH NOT A MINT STUNNER THIS IS A VERY ATTRACTIVE HONEST PISTOL IN A CONDITION THAT HAS A LOT OF ATTRACTION. IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE IT WAS THERE AND DID IT AND IT HAS A LOT OF ROMANTIC APPEAL EVEN TO ME. THESE GUNS ARE REALLY HARD TO FIND WITH MUCH MORE FINISH THAN THIS, THERE WERE NOT ALOT OF THEM AROUND AND THEY STAYED IN SERVICE RIGHT THROUGH WW2.
