| 45 ACP; 70% blue, good bore, good grips, 5'' barrel, This Colt Government Model was part of a 5,000 gun shipment to Russia c.1916, the shipment brokered through England. The pistol is accompanied by a Colt's factory letter stating shipment to the "Government of Russia" on August 3, 1916. These pistols were standard commercial Government Models of the period and have the standard two line two block patent dates and Colt's address markings on the left side of the slide, "COLT AUTOMATIC / CALIBRE 45" on the right side of the slide and "GOVERNMENT MODEL" over the C prefix serial number on the right side of the frame. The only markings indicating Russian use were the Russian crylic markings on the left frame extension, which translate roughly to "English Order". These pistols saw quite a bit of use by several different factions in Russia at the time, as they were present during the Russian Revolutions of the period. This example has original blued finish and checkered double diamond walnut grips, the right panel appearing to have been replaced at some point.

Scratches and handling marks overall. Bore has shine and strong rifling, with some corroison along the grooves. Includes the original factory letter as well as a copy. Mechanically fine., s/n C506xx |
