Hello all,

I am selling my Colt 1911A1. I brought it home with me from Belgium back in 2004...I was going to have it re-parked, but maybe one of you guys wants it as is. Pretty sure it is more of a "parts" gun, but still looks to be all Colt and correct for the serial number (43 or early 44?) 234064234065234066234067anyway, attached are a few pics...I am trying to get a pair of new Colt Series 70 pistols for my sons, so I am pricing at $1600 shipped to your dealer. Any questions, feel free to ask here or at my work email: Jeffrey.gaines.6@us.af.mil


Thanks!
Jeff

Interesting proof and inspector's marks.

GHD is the Colt inspector's mark, 1942 through 1945.
BNP is British nitro proof, so it officially came through the UK in the past.
The deer antler (actually a European Red Stag antler) proof mark is the proof house in Ulm, Germany.
The Eagle is a post-WW2 German proof.

These are just off the top of my head.
There are others on the gun which can also be deciphered.

Slide the firing pin stop down some, look for a serial number in the firing pin stop pocket in the end of the slide.
