Glad to see you got it purchased. Congratulations.

[anton67]

I wanted to thank Scott Gahimer.
Prior to the purchase I contacted him and he "eyeballed it" for me.
I really appreciate him helping me out on this.
Thank you Scott.

You're welcome. Glad to help.

Merry Christmas to you! Very nice looking pistola there...

[M1Riflenut]

Nice pick up! What are the barrel markings on the bottom?

[anton67]

Thank you all for your kind remarks.
The barrel is marked "COLT 45 AUTO" with a "P" proof.
It also is marked with an "F" underneath the barrel.
I am a member of Scott Gahimer's site M1911info.com.
I find it extremely helpful.
The barrel has the same markings as his example located on page 19 of his Colt 1911a1 Gallery (Colt M1911a1 Serial number 1652444).
