Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
According to the historical papers: This is a Excellent condition WWI Colt Model 1911 pistol from 1917. The serial number on this Colt is 203424, which places the production of this pistol in late 1917. This particular pistol was shipped from the Colt factory to Springfield Armory on December 14,1917 as part of a shipment of 1800 pistols serial numbered 202001-203800. At the time this pistol was shipped to the government, the American Expeditionary Force was still beginning to arrive in France in numbers.This is a original, and correct WWI Colt Model 1911 that was manufactured late in the first year of the war for the United State and which was undoubtedly shipped to France at some point after it was shipped from Colt to Springfield Armory.
The 1911 and 1911-A1 pistols served the military of the United States from 1911 to 1985, through two World Wars and the Korean and Vietnam wars. They gained a reputation as a reliable handgun with plenty of stopping power, and are held in high regard by those who have used them. The design was the end-result of a series of developments by famous gun designer John Browning, starting with the Model 1900.The advances made by Browning were revolutionary at the time, and were so successful that they are considered commonplace today.
