    Actually, in the late 30’s-early 40’s, I believe, colt numbered the slides, don’t know exactly when they did, but I have seen slides with numbers. Nothing at all wrong with a mismatched frame/slide, we were just figuring out if the slide was the style that was most likely original to the frame, which it appears to be.
  2. History Researcher
    Randy1944, With that information, the slide is most likely the correct slide for the frame.
  3. History Researcher
    The colt logo moved from the rear to the middle of the slide around Serial Number 285,000, according to book. It isn’t possible to know if slide is correct, without knowing the serial of the frame.

    June 1942 receiver I believe.

    Merry Christmas!

    Cool piece. 22 Mag?
  8. History Researcher
    I agree, I like the junior and the 1908.
  9. History Researcher
    Astra came into the picture later I believe, with the colt junior. I think this 1908 predates the astra involvement. Right?

    Sweet sporter.

    Have you tried looking at popular songs from 1995? The song was probably popular at the time.

    I have also heard that ballistol is good to protect leather.

    General rule for me is metal > plastic/polymer. No experience with polymer ar-15 lower though.

    Never seen a recoil spring above the barrel! Very interesting.
  15. History Researcher
    Very nice. Was the mag release switched after those 3 years?
  16. History Researcher
    Okay, so the ones that are not engraved are just the ones people ordered and did not pay extra to have them factory engraved. That makes sense.
  17. History Researcher
    Apparently there was a “grade” offered that had no engraving on the receiver, if I have researched correctly.
  18. History Researcher
    I know that some A5’s were not engraved. I wonder if all magnum A5’s were though. Always wondered why some are and some aren’t.
  19. History Researcher
    Interested. Can you send pm? Thanks.
  20. History Researcher
    Is this one engraved because it is a magnum?
  21. History Researcher
    That’s a nice looking 1911!
  22. History Researcher
    Can you send me a pm? Thanks.
  23. History Researcher
    Interested, can you send a pm?
  24. History Researcher
