I have what appears to be an authentic Colt 1911 pistol that has a serial # of C88975 which was manufactured in 1917 based upon the #. One thing leads me to question that it is a real Colt is that it is missing the rampant colt emblem on the slide. Did Colt make any 1911's without the emblem? How can I determine if this is a genuine Colt 1911?
