- Lot Description
.45 ACP, 5" barrel, S/N 810899. Blued finish, with silver highlights, smooth ivory grips. A customized and fully engraved Colt M-1911A1 that appears to have been built from a 1942 production Colt military pistol. The pistol has nearly full coverage engraving with tight floral scroll motifs and has been refinished with a lustrous blue finish, with the addition of smooth ivory grip panels. The slide is further embellished with raised game scenes of a bear, a stag, a mountain lion and a ram, all highlighted in silver. The pistol is contained in a well-made soft leather flap holster with a snap closure that is fleece lined and gives the impression that it may have been made out of part of a WWII era high altitude flying suit. Includes a single blued, 7-round magazine.
**C&R or FFL requiredFine as refinished, retaining nearly all of the applied blue. All of the engraving remains crisp and sharp as do the silver highlighted game scenes. Mechanically functional, very good bore, very good grips. Holster very good. A lovely custom pistol that is well executed and very attractive.Condition
