Colt Government Model 1911

The Colt Model 1911: Below you will find the serial numbers for the Military guns manufactured from 1912 - 1945. I do not collect military guns, so I don't have a picture to offer. I did own a Remington Rand gun about 30 years ago. I'll tell the story about that gun soon.
