M1911 WWI (the Great War) .45acp Re-blue after WWI. This is not a 1911A! One magazine it is two tone but well worn! Some minor pitting that was blue over. Works smoothly a true CLASSIC!! And it is a COLT. Per Colt's website it was manufactured in 1917. This is the type of pistol that Sgt. A. York used to get the Medal of Honor. Please look at all photos.
