1911 A1 U.S. ARMY on the right side of the slide and colt with patent dates ranging from 1897 to 1913 the parkerization is a little darker for about the first two inches from the muzzle.
The frame seems different though It is blued not parkerized trigger and hammer are blued as well as the grip saftey and mainspring housing which has no lanyard loop and is flat unlike the A1 I realize that this is an old firearm and could have been modified before I ever saw it .
The serial number seems a little odd there is no makers name and the number is almost like an italics script the number is 59-- only four digits the only other markings I have found were the number 60 stamped on the trigger guard on the right side on the other side there is an X stamped on the trigger guard and below that is a tri-angle with the letters VP inside of the tri-angle.
With the slide off to the right of the disconnector appears to be the letter R it is a little faint .
Any help in identifing this frame and its possible Value would be greatley appreciated before I go and cut it for a bevartail grip-saftey . I would hate to destroy something that had some type of value and could be restored. To me it would be like sending an old classic to a demolition derby.
I Intend to pass this down to one of my sons.
