looked at a friend's 1911 a few nights ago,
he inherited it, (no pics) but basically a 90-95% condition pistol
been in his family as long as he can remember

he will order a Colt letter for it,

wondering if it may have a hit in SRS,

Colt,
#96554

serial range puts in the US Navy allotment

THANKS!!!

Hi Ken... actually it is 738, I had 739 about 5 years ago... They are both DEL marked guns...I'll give you a buzz the next day or so... Ed

At one time had DEL marked No. 825, which was a worn but original specimen. Sold it and a few years later saw it sporting a brand new blue finish.

Johhny...Was talking to the new owner of 825 and we both are trying to find any info on the DEL guns. Did you happen to find any when you owned it.
