According to my reference. Springfield Armory stopped production of 1911's in 1915. At serial number 133,186.
470,xxx would have been made in 1918 by Colt.
Re lack of "United States Property" marking. Some folks got nervous about that, and were known to remove it.0 -
hello the 1911 pistols had many changes during it's building there are a number of books that have been written about how they were marked one of the best is Charles Clawson colt 45service pistols ISBN

inspector marks of your pistol
should have some inspector mark 3 letters inside a circle on left side of pistol just below the slide release latch I am very sorry as am very busy can you post some pictures of all markings
I think it was shipped dec.3th 1918 very few pistols have the same parts parts that they were built with arms room would not bother
to pay attention when they cleaned pistols to match parts back

No 470000 is a 1918 USGI 1911 Colt (receiver.)
It likely got the Springfield slide in overhaul, the parts were required to be interchangeable and all the Army cared about was functional weapons.
Lack of United States Property mark indicates a pilfered service weapon "scrubbed" to distract prosecution. Just be glad Grandpa didn't take off the serial number. Many did and the result is contraband illegal to possess.0 -
Thanks all.
I never could figure out how to post pictures sorry .
Ill inspect the frame to see if the USP markings have been removed.0 -

your pistol should have inspector markings in many places also on barrel/
slide small parts etc the slide will tell us if military I would say there could be as many as 30 different marks on the pistol and each one could give you information that could be useful something such as the hammer slide stop trigger grips magazine ETC ETC can be helpful to you help us to help you0
