Atlas Collectible Firearms is profoundly excited to showcase this legendary, highly sought-after World War II U.S. Union Switch & Signal Model 1911A1 semi-automatic military sidearm chambered in .45 ACP. Manufactured in 1943 during the peak of global conflict, this wartime pistol represents one of the lowest production standard military-issued 1911A1 variants, originating from a reduced government contract of only 55,000 total units. Fitted with a five-inch round barrel bearing proper factory inspector markings, this historic piece serves as an irreplaceable centerpiece for premier martial arms enthusiasts.
The firearm displays its original Dulite finish, showcasing crisp factory slide roll-stamps including the trademark USS monogram alongside Swissvale, Pennsylvania markings and sharp inspector initials on the frame. It comes equipped with standard blade and notch military sights, a thin checkered hammer, short stamped trigger, long grip safety, and arched checkered mainspring housing with an integrated lanyard loop. The frame is fitted with classic Keyes Fibre checkered dark reddish-brown grips that retain remarkably sharp diamond texturing throughout.
Accompanying this historic sidearm is a 1943-dated Hickock canvas lanyard, a Mills dual-cell canvas web magazine pouch, and a proper G-marked full-blue steel magazine. Preserved in very fine original condition with over 90% Dulite blue remaining, minor holster wear, light scattered freckling, and a bright bore, this outstanding military package holds incredible investment potential.
