A 1911A1 Colt shipped in the June/July 1943 time period that got through without the crossed cannon or Brig. General Guy H. Drewry acceptance initials. The right side of the receiver shows tightening of the hammer pin and safety lock holes with a crescent shaped tool. This type of adjustment shows up occasionally on pistols that were apparently slightly out of spec, but repaired and issued. No way of knowing for sure, but it appears that the pistol was first rejected, and then somehow made it out after the repair without going back for final acceptance.
The top of the receiver shows an unusual number of stamps in addition to the normal G found on top of the receiver flat. The pistol has the matching number slide and correct COLT.45 AUTO and F marked barrel.
