Saw a 1923 production Colt Model 1911 Commercial.


The Barrel, where visible through the ejector port, reads " COLT 45 Auto NM"


Is this right???


Is this some later Barrel? Or?


I thought the Barrels were merely in the white and polished there, and, had no stamped caliber designation.


Similarly...should the correct Magazine have any Stamping-info on the Base?


Anyone?


Thanks...

I don't know such minutae, but NM like National Match?
I suspect somebody replaced or upgraded the barrel at some time or another.

That's a National Match replacement barrel and is not original to the gun.

Ahhhhhhh...


Thank you...
