Hello I recently aquired a colt 1911 and I am having a really hard time getting specifics on it. First of all I am not going to sell it, regardless of the value it will be a shooter, none of my guns are safe queens. Anyways thank you in advance for the help.
So here is the info on the gun, right side of the slide says "model of 1911" in all capital letters, left side of the slide has the patent dates and a colt logo then "colt's pt.f.a.mfg.co hartford, ct.usa.". right side of the frame has the serial number "NO197XX" a total of five digits, also what looks like a "26" on the trigger gaurd. On the left side of the frame says "united states property" in all caps, "AA" (augusta arsenel) is stamped right under that, and "ECC" is stamped between the grip and trigger. Under the grip saftey there is an "A" with "18" right below it. There is also a "N" right below the rear sight and above the hammer.
