Colt started using the plastic Coltwood grips at about serial number 725000. Colt officially instigated use of the Type II phosphate finish (parkerizing) as of the Model 1911A1 serial number 729993 although the blued finish (Type III black oxide military finish) continued to be used through serial number 760000. These 1941 pistols are some of the last Colt Model 1911A1’s to have a blued finish and the first to have plastic grips. This pistol has the early Colt military blue finish and is fitted with brown checkered ‘Coltwood’ plastic grips. The total Colt 1941 production was less than 35,000 pistols falling in the serial number range of 721978 & 756733. Shipped from Colt to the Springfield Armory 76 years ago, sometime in May of 1941. This one is complete in it’s original configuration, described as very good plus.
Colt 1911A1 US ARMY 45ACP circa 1941 ordnance stamped pistols are the hardest to find in any reasonable condition.
