Engraved 1914 Production U.S. Colt Model 1911 Semi-Automatic Pistol with Pearl Grips

Manufactured in 1914. In addition to the standard Colt/Army nomenclature and Penfield "WGP" inspection mark, over 90% of the surface on the slide and frame are covered in engraving, chiefly punch-dot backed scrollwork, with deeply cut serrations on the underside of the slide and banners added around the standard markings. Grips are smooth mother of pearl, with a lanyard ring equipped magazine and a "COLT 45 AUTO" marked barrel.

Very good as custom embellished and refinished, with most of the blue remaining, showing some mild handling marks and sub-surface pitting. The underside of the frame and grip straps have a grained, polished texture. Grips are very fine, with some minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
