SRS check on 1938 Colt 1911A1

[westgard]

Just curious, (actually, really curious) if this generates a hit of any sort
serial number 713345

could someone that has access to the records check it out? Much appreciated!

Sorry, no joy. 1938 is very sparse. Mine is not listed either but came from a WW II Navy Vet.

Thanks for checking, I thought I might get lucky. There is a 1938 up for auction at Amoskeag, #713632. (also see coltautos.com) Indicates that it was on the USS Sailfish. The data came from "US Archives Record 74". I wonder if that is a giant room full of materials that you have to randomly go through, or more organized? I do go to Washington DC with some regularity, I could go spend an afternoon there....
