I picked this old Colt up at an estate sale a week or so ago. It is one of the nicest original condition early military 1911's I have ever seen in person with what I would say was around 95%+ of it's original Colt "brushed blue" finish.
I did some research on it and it turns out it does have a bit of history:
It is one of 1000, serial numbers 144051-145050 shipped from Colt's on 18 April 1917 to the Commanding Officer, Ordnance Depot, Manila, The Philippines.
