![]() No original production pistols from WWII have a right side slide stamp. ![]() ![]() ARMY M1911 including the legendary run of 10,000 Improved Model Of 1911 built in 1924, the only pistols marked M1911 with all of the familiar M1911A1 features (arched and checkered MSH, finger cuts, rounded slide release lever, etc.) Savage slides intended to fulfill the same purpose.Īll World War I slides were stamped on the right side MODEL OF U.S. These were in the spirit of the rare WWI A.J. They are not identical between the companies. Replacement slides were produced by the four prime contractors with plans to have parts on hand for spares and arsenal rebuild if needed. ![]() Internals, barrel and stamp pics appreciated. Drewry receiver, rust and pitting (not disastrous) on slide and dust cover, chance of blood corrosion (can be a combat indicator) but cant see well WWI slide release lever large spur Colt hammer checkered WWII Colt trigger blued War magazine large reinforcing ring Colt stocks (either hollow-back or with reinforcing cross), both with mold numbers. Is the rear sight notch squared or rounded? Only wear patterns would tend to suggest when this slide was installed. More photos are always valuable for more detailed observations. Very fine relic! Contrats! All are interesting, all have a story to tell.
