The forged steel frame and slide provide a solid foundation, finished in a uniform parkerized treatment on both receiver and slide. This full-size 1911 follows the Mil-Spec pattern with a 5-inch barrel, spur hammer, and a short, solid trigger.
Sight configuration is a fixed 3-dot system, with a staked front sight (single white dot) and a dovetailed rear (two white dots). The slide wears rear-only serrations for a clean, traditional look consistent with the Mil-Spec series.
Controls and safeties include a grip safety and a left-side thumb safety, aligning with the single-action 1911 platform. Black checkered grip panels round out the classic handling characteristics.
Markings of interest include the early "MODEL 1911-A1 CAL .45" roll mark and the "FI BRAZIL" stamp on the dust cover. The N-prefix serial format is associated with Springfield Armory 1911 production.
