This is my 1911 colt had it for 17yrs+,it was a mess when I got it,had to do following:
added comp barrel and bushing
trigger ,sights,parkerized ect,ect..
the gun is super tight, and is very very accurate ,and funtions flawlessly..
the gun reads on the slide (united states property)below that m11911a1
us army(also has the correct letter on the frame,which leads me to believe the slide and the frame are a match..
I found this info on one the colt auto's .com site
Colt Model 1911A1 Serial Number 713239 1938 Contract - This is one of 1,296 pistols produced in this contract. It was in a shipment of 350 pistols shipped on July 23, 1938 to the Commanding Officer, Springfield Armory, Slide has a matching serial number.
Close-up of left side slide marking. All pistols in this 1938 contract beginning with serial number 712350 were roll marked with "M1911A1 U.S. ARMY" designation. The "MODEL OF 1911 U.S. ARMY" was eliminated from the right side of the slide. Pistol is "P" proofed on top of the slide in front of the rear sight and above the magazine catch. Also note the "H" inspector's initial of Frederick W. Hauff on the left side to the right of the magazine catch. This was applied upon final ordnance inspection. P proof on top of the slide forward of the rear sight. Colt "VP" Verified Proof mark on upper left flat of the trigger guard.
can anyone tell me a value range,even thought it is not original??
thanx for your help!!!
