Up for grabs is a Colt Ejercito Argentino 1911 Mod. 1927 semi-automatic pistol in .45 ACP. Serial number – 2719. This pistol is in great condition considering its age with minimal wear and tear on the finish. It includes a magazine. Manufactured by Colt under contract in 1927 with the Argentine Government. Marked on the right side of slide “EJERCITO ARGENTINO/COLT CAL. 45 MOD. 1927”. There were only 10,000 of these pistols made by Colt for the Argentine Army (Ejercito Argentino) under contract in 1927. The pistol is basically a ‘1911A1’ (post-1924) configuration and featured a World War I style (Pre-A1 version) wide spur hammer with checkering, short checkered trigger and a checkered (arched) mainspring housing with lanyard loop. All of these Colts had a deep blue finish. Production is said to have begun in July, 1927 and ended in February, 1928. Please Note: We cannot determine if this 1911 was refinished!

5″ Barrel and the bore is in great condition!
