This is a 1911 (or, if you are a purist, a 1911-style) pistol in 10mm.
The slide is marked "Springfield Armory" on the right flat and "MODEL 1911 - A1" on the left. The breech-face is 10mm. There is an Ulm House Proof mark on the slide.
It has a single extractor.
It has adjustable sights mounted which are marked with the Peters-Stahl logo.
The linkless barrel assembly has normal 1911-style lugs and is marked 10mm and marked with the Peters-Stahl Logo and the ULM House Proof mark.
The frame (Essex) is marked with the Peters-Stahl Logo and a series of Ulm House Proof marks consistent with a 1990 date.
The pistol runs like clockwork and is accurate within my own abilities (that is, it groups as well as anything I have or have recently shot). I like it.
I can find information on both the Springfield Armory Omega and the Springfield Armory Linkless.
This is neither.
I have contacted Springfield Armory and they deny any knowledge of the pistol and flatly stated that it has not been in their shop.
I have also attempted to contact a person identified as a distributor for Peters-Stahl here in Texas, but the information is apparently dated.
I have emailed Peters-Stahl without result.
From the information I have been able to glean, I infer that the pistol was built in the Peters-Stahl factory (armory?) using Peters-Stahl, Essex, and Springfield Armory components and proofed in 1990 by Ulm. I’ve not seen another just like it (although it’s pretty much identical to the SA Linkless, as far as I can tell). Therefore I suspect that it’s not a production pistol but either a prototype or a custom build.
Any information would be appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
Best,
Will
