Colt Combat Elite Enhanced 1911 .45 acp (not a stock Dodge part)

Any other "tool marks"??? (Little stamps of numbers/letters). :dontknow:

I do know it was produced between May, 1918 to Oct. 24, 1918 ...... and that it was a REAL Government issue..... according to the Serial #. :eek:

Does it say "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" on the receiver (the bottom part of the gun, below the barrel)???

No, but it does have a small horse stamped on the same side as the patent dates. Also, right behind the trigger, it appears to have the letter and numbers "S17" It still has the wood grips, and I have the original leather holster. This gun was my great grandfather's; who served in WWI. We have a picture of him on his horse, with this gun.

WOW! Keep it, and DON'T SHOOT IT. It's only been worked on once from the armory (the "S17" is a tool mark, or "rollmark" denoting service was performed on the pistol at the US Armory). The "small horse" is of course the Colt Logo. If you have a picture, and the original holster it's probably worth quite a bit of money. I'd say $1800-$2500 at least. If you are curious, take it to a reputable gun shop and have them look at it. They should be able to give you a good estimate on what it would be worth. :) But, if it was mine, I would never sell it. :eek:

Sorry to Ho your thread, D. :eek:

He says he's got the ORIGINAL holster too.... Those aren't cheap just by themselves. :rock: :eek:

That sure is a purty gun, Denise..... :love: I love the flat-top slide w/ adjustable sites, and the two tone finish. Lots of nice factory trick stuff on there. Hell, just those factory 8rd (Colt stamped) magazines are worth about $30/ea. :)

Damn ! :mad: :( ;) :D

Oh,well,I guess you can send it to Mtn View Gunshop in Luray :D

It does n't have to be shipped FROM an FFL as far as VA law is concerned,as long as it goes TO a Va licensed FFL dealer before I get it.
If you have to ship from an FFL dealer to comply with the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia :D ,then that is fine with me.
