Coltautos.com Recommended References from Amazon.com Colt Model of 1911 U.S. Navy.45 ACP - Serial Number 109967 (ca. 1915) Colt Model of 1911 U.S. NAVY Serial Number 109967 - Manufactured in 1915 and part of a 500 gun Navy contract order. Rare, Early 1911 Colt - 1913 11/14/17 - This is a very hard to find Colt 1911 from early 1913. Production began in 1912 and with the serial in the 22xxx range, this obviously makes it one of the first 25k made. The Colt M1911 was formally adopted by the United States Army on March 29, 1911, with 68,000 placed in service. In 1913, the United States Navy and Marine Corps adopted this new firearm, as well. High demand for this revolutionary design led to new production contracts with other manufacturers.

Colt introduced this model in 1970 as a newer version of the Model 1911A1. The major changes were a slightly heavier slide and a slotted collet barrel bushing. From 1970 to 1976 the serial numbers had a prefix of '70G', from 1976 to 1980 they had a suffix of 'G70' which changed to a prefix of '70B' from 1980 until 1983 when production ceased.

1927 Colt 1911A1
Argentina Army
Modelo 1927

In 1927 Colt manufactured 10,000 1911A1s for the Argentinean Army. This contract is unique in that it had its own serial number range starting at serial of: 1 to 10,000, and the pistols were marked in accordance with Argentine requirements.The only normal Colts markings are the standard left hand slide legend. These guns have the serial numbers in three places, the barrel, the slide and on the receiver frame under the main spring housing.Also notice the G marking on top of the receiver that would normally indicate “Government Order”.The corresponding mark under the slide is faint enough that it cannot be identified precisely and may be a “S” for “Sales”.Under the left stock, and around the upper grip screw bushing are the three commercial inspection marks normally applied to visible areas of the pistol.Below the bushing if the Colts “Verified” proof mark, “VP” normally applied to the upper left trigger guard bow just below the final inspector’s mark.Behind the bushing is the Colts final inspectors mark, “S” (normally applied at the top of the left trigger guard bow.)In front of the bushing, is the Colts assemblers mark, “20” normally applied to the top right trigger guard bow. This pistol does show the normal Colts “Prancing Pony” on the left. Most of these pistols observed have been refinished, but the example shown in Clawson appears to retain the original finish as well as the “Prancing Colt”.Notice the RA in a circle stamp on the receiver, barrel, and hammer.This marking indicates “Republic Argentina” and was applied by Argentinean inspectors at Colts.

These “Modello 1927”, made in Hartford, by Colts, pistols should not be confused with pistols made in Argentina under license from Colts, and marked D.G.F.M. Both pistols are quality products and generally interchange, but there is a perceived difference in value between the two. Reference Charles Clawsons “Colt .45 Service pistols”.

**Be careful as there are also 1911A1s that where actually manufactured in Argentina under license from Colt.
