    Superficially, it looks like a late 1911 slide on a 1911A1 receiver, as was commonly done during overhaul. They didn't care about matching up the parts for collectors decades later, they just wanted functional sidearms. But since I see no inspectors' or arsenal marks and cannot read the serial number, I can't confirm that it is real USGI.

    Unless it's been photoshopped? The 5 digit serial number doesn't compute as far as the frame being authentic G.I./government production. Starting in the late 70's many small shops start production of 1911A1 receivers, and associated parts. No telling who made the frame on your pistol, at this late date, if it has no other marking but the S.N.

    I agree with other posters I believe this is a CLONE receiver. or one that has been deeply buffed to remove all markings Proof and inspector marks . You might want to remove the slide and look at the frame around the disconnector hole U.S. military frames wee also marked there. This will NOT be a collector COLT

    Your SerNo is 25691. If it were authentic USGI it would have been mf'd sometime mid 1912, as serial numbers were issued in blocks to Gov't contractors (they didn't run their own numbers)...And 1912 is over a decade too early for the A1 variant.

    Conclusion: Civilian frame/unknown manufacturer beneath a Colt M1911 slide. Consider it (and price it) as a shooter. A shooter that needs to be eyeballed carefully by a 1911 'smith prior to use due to unknown parts fitment. Best, Joe
