Built during WWII in 1944, this full-size .45 ACP M1911A1 combines a Colt GHD-marked frame with a Remington Rand–marked slide, reflecting a service "mixmaster" configuration verified through the CMP Program. The pistol retains key U.S. military rollmarks, including "UNITED STATES PROPERTY," "M1911A1 U.S. ARMY," the GHD inspector stamp, and a P proof.
The barrel is a U.S. Government replacement, marked "45 AUTO" with drawing number 7791193 and a small "85." It uses fixed GI-pattern sights with a staked blade front and square-notch rear, maintaining the classic service configuration favored for duty reliability.
Core GI features are present: a wide-spur, checkered hammer; short trigger; and an arched, serrated mainspring housing with lanyard loop. The carbon steel frame and slide wear a parkerized/gray phosphate finish appropriate to the period.
Aftermarket "ROBERTS"-marked brown checkered plastic grips provide a period-style grip texture while noting the pistol’s light customization. Capacity is 7+1 with the included GI-pattern 7-round magazine. The CMP Certificate of Authenticity (dated 06/25/2026) confirms the pistol’s documented release and notes that a prior typed discrepancy has been resolved.
