SOLD COLT 1911 COMMERICAL MINT STUNNING PIECE SHIPPED APRIL 1917

IN 98% MINT CRISP CONDITION, WE HAVE A TOP EXAMPLE OF ONE OF THE LAST OF THE COLT COMMERCIAL 1911’S THAT WAS SHIPPED JUST PRIOR TO THE ENTRY OF THE UNITED STATES INTO THE FIRST WORLD WAR.  THIS PISTOL COMES WITH A COLT FACOTRY LETTER THAT INDICATES THAT IF WAS SHIPPED TO THE FAMOUS PITTSBURGH PA SPROTING GOODS FIRM W.S. BROWN CO.  IT WAS PART OF A LARGE ORDER OF 20 1911’S AND VERY LIKELY WAS PURCHASED AS SECURITY FOR A STEEL PLANT FROM STRIKING EMPLOYEES.  THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY NICE EXAMPLE THAT FEATURES THE VERY HIGH POLISH EARLY FINISH AND IT IS A QUITE STRIKING EXAMPLE.  IF YOU COLLECT COMMERCIAL COLTS THIS IS A REALLY STUNNING EXAMPLE THAT HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR A VERY VERY LONG TIME.
