Colt 1911
I have had this colt 1911 for several years and curiosity has got the better of me. There are no serial numbers and does not appear to have ever been even under the grips. Just wondering what I possibly may have.
thanks for any replies.

IN the market for a .45. Thinking about a Colt 1911. Any suggestions. 0 -
I heard the 80 series of colt is not that good. Is that true. 0 -
I'm starting to think about selling my father's government issued Colt 1911. He carried this gun when he went ashore on D-Day.
You ask me "Why would I do such a thing"? Well, I wanted to save it for my 2 sons but neither are interested in firearms. Both would probably sell it for much less than its worth. I live in the New Orleans area and could donate it to the D-Day museum.
What would you do? Keep hanging on to it? Sell it? Donate it? Pass it on to your children not knowing what would happen to it?
I also have a M1 Carbine and Garrand from my father and his brother. I plan on keeping the rifles.0 -
Met a gentleman today with one. Made in 1914 he said. Older gentleman, said he bought it when he was 21. He said it was not the A1 model. Wish I would have had my phone on me to snap a pick. This gun was def. used but fired without a problem the whole time I was there. (400rds) 0 -
Sounds like one old fart you don't want to mess with, firing 400 rounds at a time with a .45. Or was that you shooting the 400? Either way, good job.
Some things you might've noticed on a pre A1 model:
1. Shorter grip safety spur.
2. Straight mainspring housing.
3. Long trigger
4. No cutouts in the frame behind the trigger.
Of course, all of these could've been gunsmithed out over the years.0
