the frist things that jump out at me are the trigger, mainspring housing , and grip safety . The photo is not big enough to see if proper slidestop , safety , or hammer are there oh and also arnt the grip panels wrong for a 1911 shouldnt they be plastic ? i really cant remember offhand

 

[Bruces45]

Keep in mind this is a 1919, so its before the transition ('24)

yea i just hit what slapped me in the face on the 1911 vs 1911a1 issue , i am not an expert but that stood out at first blush lol on a second look i aint too shure about the slide but i cant read the rollmarks either on this screen

Alli can see from crappy pic is mainspring housing and grips and no roll marks on right side of slide

bruce that pixilated out for me , but if i had to say i would say at least the slide stop is wrong it looks stirated not checkered , the general shape of the safety looks right tho

I sharpened it a bit, it looks checkered

bruce i beg to differ to me it looks like a later slide stop and stirated not checkered , i finaly went to the auction and looked and in this pic from the top http://nas4.atlanta.gbhinc.com/GB/045981000/45981170/pix2147668141.jpg it looks stirated also to me

Good eyes, I had to brighten it in a bit.

well bruce if you will concede the slide stop i have to admit that is all i am spotting even on reflection lol i eagerly await the true list from the experts

original magazine had a lanyard loop(in adition to the loop on the mainspring housing),The 1911 had a long trigger the gun in picture has a short trigger. the grip safety,mainspring housing and hammer are from 1911a1

Not on a 1919, they stopped that around 1915 or so.

I was workin' Bruce :frown:

Let's see, what's wrong...
as stated MSH, trigger, (grip safety is correct "edit" nope, it does look like an A1)

slide (it is USGI) is post 1938
hammer is post 1939
United States Property and inspectors stamp is missing from left side of frame
Slide stop is a post 1924 and it's probably a Commercial model (Colt didn't use serrated on the M1911s, they used knurled thru 1945 with intermittent production of serrated slide stops beginning in Oct. of '44)
the finish

Not on a 1919, they stopped that around 1915 or so.

The last Colt issued with lanyard loop mags was #125566, last M1911 of 1915.

Hmm, this is kinda fun. :wink:

 

[Redneck Repairs]

damm i do belive i scored high fair on what i spotted considering i am not an expert and have not studyed 1911s lol

 

[Arkie]

Yep, that's about it for me. LOL!!!!!
