SOLD COLT MODEL 1911 U.S. NAVY…….VERY EARLY PRODUCTION…..NOV, 1912……VERY SHARP!!!

IN 95% ORIGINAL VERY SHARP  CONDITION, 100% FACTORY ORIGINAL AS WELL, WE HAVE AN EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF THE HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER COLT MODEL OF 1911 U.S. NAVY PISTOL.  THIS VERY EARLY PRODUCTION  PISTOL WAS SHIPPED TO THE BROOKLYN NAVAL YARD ON NOVEMBER 9, 1912. 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” WITHOUT SERIFS  MARKED BARREL WITH A VERY 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 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 IN JUST STUNNING SHAPE. THIS IS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO GET A VERY EARLY EXAMPLE IN EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION.
