Came across a colt 1911 I am looking for some info/guidance on. Family heirloom looking to be passed on through the family, but.....
Marked "Model of 1911 US Army" bottom Left frame. Left slide PT.F.A. MFG CO. Hartford CT. U.S.A.
Last patent date on it is Aug 13, 1913.
Story goes bought from government in 1950's. However, on frame just above and behind the trigger, there are ALOT of scratches. This makes me a little nervous. Thanks for any comments or info, but please be nice.
