1918 Colt

I just picked up this Colt yesterday. I have been working on getting it for a few weeks now and finally the stars aligned. Records show that it was delivered to Springfield Armory on 27 March, 1918.

And it even came with an extra lanyard loop magazine:

Shown with the February 1917 production Colt I picked up a couple of months ago. Note the difference in the font and location of the rollmark.
