VERY LIKELY THIS PISTOL WAS ISSUED TO ONE OF THE SHIPS IN SERVICE OR BEING BUILT AT THE YARD.  THIS PISTOL IS 100% CORRECT WITH THE ORIGINAL “H” WITH SERIFS  MARKED BARREL WITH A STILL DECENT BORE AND THE PERIOD CORRECT KEY HOLE MAGAZINE.    THESE U.S. NAVY MARKED COLT 1911 PISTOLS ARE THE MOST HIGHLY SOUGHT OF THE WW1 ERA PISTOLS.  THEY ARE EXTREMELY RARE BECAUSE SO FEW WERE EVER MANUFACTURED AND MOST OF THEM ARE SITTING ON THE BOTTOM OF THE PACIFIC.  THERE ARE PROBABLY MORE ON THE BOTTOM OF PEARL HARBOR THAN ANY WHERE IN THE WORLD.  THESE PISTOLS IN ANY ORIGINAL CONDITION ARE AGGRESSIVELY SOUGHT AFTER BY COLLECTORS, AND THIS IS A RARE CHANCE TO GET ONE OF THE MORE INTERESTING AND DESIRABLE REMAINING EXAMPLES THAT IS STILL IN VERY DECENT SHAPE. THIS IS ALSO RARE OPPORTUNITY TO GET A VERY EARLY SERIAL NUMBER COLT 1911.
