COLT 45

DOUG MUMPER
HELP, I inherited what looks like a Colt 45 but the markings on it do not say COlt anywhere.
on the left side of the slide it says
"Fabrica Militarde Armas Portatiles-Rosarig"
"Sistema Colt Cal 11.25mm - Industria Argentina"

on the right side of the slide it says
"P.N.N. 110907"

can anyone please give me info on the history of this gun and the value

many thanks
Dave

    Hi, Would appreciate expert opinion on a gun purchased (used) in 1975. Colt Mk IV 45 ACP. It has had gold and silver hand grips added. What would the experts believe this is worth? The only other ID I have on it is the serial number. Thanks, bj

    You have a potentially valuable pistol. I sold one last year, s.n. W106xxx, for quite a nice price to a collector on this auction. The pistol in question was made by Colt for the British Royal Navy in W.W.I. They were originally rust blued. Many of them were re-issued to the R.A.F. and R.C.A.F. in W.W.II and are usually so marked. They are chambered for what was then the standard British semi-auto pistol cartridge, the .455 Eley. You can shoot .45 ACP in them lacking the proper ammo, but not .455 in .45 ACP.[This message has been edited by Der Gebirgsjager (edited 01-18-2002).]

    Der Gebirgsjager is correct in the identification of your pistol. This is a potentially valuable pistol if all original.By the way, did you notice the shift lock is stuck on in your post? Loose the all-upper-case posts.

    I had a .455 in a Colt 1917. The accuracy with 45ACP was terrible because the barrel bore was .005" larger than the 45ACP.While you could probably chamber the Webly cartridge in a 45ACP 1911, the oversize jacketed bullet might create dangerous pressures.
