This is a recently acquired Colt M1911 A1 rearsenal chambered in .45ACP. According to Colt records, it dates back to 1919. It's true history is unknown, but during World War II, many M1911A1 pistols from the World War I era were re-arsenaled and put back into service due to the high demand for sidearms. The M1911A1 remained the standard-issue sidearm for the U.S. military throughout World War II, and older pistols were often refurbished and issued to troops as needed. This one features a worn "black army" finish, 5"-barrel, fixed sights, diamond checkered wood grips, a two-tone magazine and comes with a US holster stamped SEARS 1942, indicating production by Sears, Roebuck and Co. Overall, this re-arsenaled Colt M1911A1 U.S. Army Pistol represents a piece of American military history and will make a great addition to any collection. Please see specifications below and all pictures for accurate depiction of this piece.
