Has Colt ever made a WWII replica 1911A1?

I know they made a WWI replica 1911, but how about a WWII 1911A1 Replica?

This should answer your question.
Colt says about 5000 made and 100 per state is not an unreasonable number I guess.

Actually the number was closer to 4000 and rumor was they never made that many. The early ones didn't have us property roll marks. And later ones did. The Colt ww1 reproduction is/was produced in the same numbers 4000.

5000, 4000, what's a thousand guns among Colt fans,,,,,,
I have had it out and shot it on three different occasions.
I guess it isn't collectable anymore but it way out shoots any and all genuine mil-spec, mil-issue .45s that I have ever shot and I have shot a bunch.
I bought this gun on a whim and ended up selling all my Mil-spec guns and keeping this one.
I like it.

Does anyone know of someone with one of these for sale?

Try gunbroker.com or auctionarms.com, the pistols occasionally come up for sale there.

John Holbrook is a contributer to the boards here and a dedicated 1911 collector.
He too may be able to find one for you. HTH

Gun broker usually has one or two at a time for about $1000-$1200 each.

I can find lots of WW1 repros, but no WW2 repros.
