Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly honored to present a world-class piece of American military history: a high-condition 1943 Colt 1911A1 U.S. Army chambered in the venerable .45 ACP. This museum-tier specimen features a 5-inch barrel and represents the height of wartime production from Colt's Hartford facility. This example is exceptionally rare, featuring an all-numbers matching slide and frame, a configuration seldom found in such a high state of preservation for a combat-issued sidearm.
This investment-grade pistol retains its original factory Parkerized finish, which remains uniform and robust across all surfaces. The frame is clearly stamped with the "GHD" (Guy H. Drewry) inspector mark and the "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" roll mark, while the serial number 954928 remains sharp and legible. The firearm is correctly fitted with the original hollow-back checkered grips and contains the correct barrel for the production period, maintaining its 100% original factory configuration.
The overall condition of this 1943 Colt is extremely fine, exhibiting only minor scattered handling marks consistent with long-term storage and limited military service. The mechanical action is factory-crisp, and the bore remains in excellent condition with sharp rifling. This represents a premier opportunity for the advanced military arms collector to acquire a correctly documented, matching-numbers 1911A1 that served as the backbone of the Allied victory in World War II.
