Description:
Springfield Model 1911 U.S. Army pistol manufactured in at end of 1914, placing it before the World War I production, a period when these pistols first proved themselves in combat with American forces. Standard features include blade front sight and drift adjustable “U” notch rear sight. The left side of slide bears the correct three-line Springfield address marking with patent dates (April 20, 1897, September 9, 1902, December 19, 1905, and February 14, 1911) referencing John Moses Browning’s revolutionary design patents, along with “COLT’S PT. F.A. MFG. CO. HARTFORD, CT. U.S.A.”. “SPRINGFIELD ARMORY/U.S.A.”. Left side of frame with U.S. property markings. The right side of the slide displays The Great Seal of the United States and the proper military markings “MODEL OF 1911 U.S. ARMY” with the serial number on the right frame. Correct early Springfield barrel with small “MD” inspection at rear, “P” and “S” respectively on each side of the lug. Dark walnut grips secured with two screws in the double diamond checkering pattern. Correct period military two-toned magazine, with top half in the white, folded floorplate with lanyard loop. Other features include long smooth trigger, late checkered hammer, and short grip safety, all characteristic of the early WWI military Model 1911 pistols. Other “S” marked parts, evident on limited disassembly, include barrel bushing and slide stop
Condition:
VG original finish with holster wear and handling as consistent with a service pistol that was carried throughout World War I and arguably thereafter. Scattered oxidative flecking and thinning of straps as carefully imaged. Comparable condition grips, the left panel with a lightly scribed “R” and intertwined S/C, below and above the grip screws respectively, on the left panel. Bright bore with easily discernible rifling. Correct manual mechanics. A nice no-excuse Springfield Armory 1911 U.S. military pistol from World War I!
