SOLD COLT 1911 A1 1941 PRODUCTION RS PROOFED BLUED FINISH NICE!

IN 95% ORIGINAL CONDITION WE HAVE A HIGHLY PRIZED BLUED PRE WAR PRODUCTION COLT 1911A1 PISTOL. THE PISTOL IS MATCHING AND 100% CORRECT AS PER CLAWSON AND INCLUDES THE CORRECT SMALL G MARKED COLT BARREL AND WOOD GRIPS. THIS IS ONE OF THE LAST PISTOLS TO HAVE THE WALNUT GRIPS. THE MOST DESIRABLE ASPECT OF THIS PISTOL IS THE BLUED FINISH WHICH WOULD BE ELIMINATED A FEW MONTHS LATER. THESE PISTOLS ARE THE AMERICAN VERSION OF A KRIEGHOFF LUGER AND INDEED HAVE SUPERCEDED THEM AS THE MOST DESIRABLE 20TH CENTURY MILITARY COLLECTABLE PISTOL. THIS IS A VERY DECENT EXAMPLE AND IS EVEN MORE DESIRABLE BY THE FACTG THAT THE PISTOL IS RECORDED IN THE SPRINGFIELD RESEARCH SERVICE AS BEING WITH THE 6TH ARMY IN 1946 DURING OCCUPATION DUTY IN JAPAN. WHILE WE DON’T KNOW FOR SURE THE HISTORY PRIOR TO THIS POINT, IT PROBABLY SERVED IN THE PACIFIC THEATRE. THE INVESTMENT POTENTIAL OF THIS PISTOL IN A RISING ECONOMY CANNOT BE UNDER ESTIMATED.
