Extremely fine condition with 90% of the original blue finish overall with edge and high spot wear with blue loss on the top and front edges of the slide with the front grip strap and main spring housing both showing light oxidation and browning of the finish. The grips are in fine condition with nice distinct checkering on both sides, showing minor handling marks on both sides with light wear across the tops of the checkering. This is a really nice early U.S. Springfield Armory Model 1911 with correct parts; an exceptional original example!
