I'd like some help getting an approximate date of manufacture for an old Colt automatic.
It's a .45 Auto, serial number 877xxx. The left side of the slide is marked with the prancing pony and the patent dates and the right side is marked "M1911 A1 U.S.ARMY". There are several other marks which I assume are some sort of military proof marks.
My guess is that it was made around 1950. Am I close?
