The "rush-rush" blueing process on the so-called Black Army 1911s, as far as I can tell, didn't begin until after something like serial # 40,0000 or so.
This one's much earlier, #2285XX, and shipped out Feb 8, 1918.
Some teasers, ...
All original and never refinished, a battlefield gun ...
Original 1918 mags.
92 years and two mag dumps later: Old School is still mission-capable.
