These images have a lot going for them. One, it’s a cool Colt 1911. Two, the cutaway was done by Colt for Winchester. Three, it is interesting to see what Colt wanted to show the engineers at Winchester to help them make 1911’s for the government. Four, we are talking about a WWI era contract, not much more common WWII era.
- 1911 Cutaway. Notice the flat MSH
- 1911 Cutaway. Even the mag is cut.
- Lack of relief behind trigger means NOT a A1 upgrade.
A very cool piece worthy of it’s own post here.
- Cutaway for the bushing.
- Cutaway for the sear.
- They even cut the grip panels!
Special note: Did you notice this is a Colt model of 1911? Not the A1? How rare is a factory Colt, factory cutaway, WWI wartime production year pistol? The answer: rare enough to be in a museum.
- Notice the trigger bow.
- Full view.
- Description of the pistol on display.
