Lot 42:
A Colt M1911A1 .45 Caliber Semi-Automatic Pistol, Serial Number 322670
Description
A Colt M1911A1 .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol. The left side of the slide is marked “GOVERNMENT MODEL COLT AUTOMATIC CALIBER .45” alongside a rearing horse logo. The right side of the slide is marked “COLT’S MFG. CO. HARTFORD CT. U.S.A.”. The frame bears the serial number “322670”. The pistol features a matte dark finish on its metal components and is fitted with textured, brown checkered grip panels, likely polymer or bakelite. It is accompanied by one detachable metal magazine and a black plastic carrying case labeled “BERRY’S MFG”. While the serial number 322670 typically corresponds to a 1918 production Colt Model 1911 frame, the pistol exhibits characteristics of the M1911A1 variant, including the shortened trigger, arched mainspring housing, and relief cuts behind the trigger guard, suggesting it may be a factory upgrade or arsenal rebuild.
Condition report:
Overall apparent condition is good, exhibiting minor wear consistent with handling and use. The matte dark finish shows some light holster wear and surface abrasions, particularly on high points and edges. The grip panels are intact with minor handling marks and no apparent cracks. The action appears to function correctly, though it has not been test-fired. The bore condition is not assessed without disassembly.
