Photos too small and dark to tell much about the markings, but left side of barrel lug appears to have Argentine barrel proof marking.

48861Thank you for your response, Sorry for the bad photos , was afraid it might be Argentine, guess I’ll be looking for a early commercial barrel now. I think the correct one has a h and p top of the chamber visible thru ejection port.
Thanks again, here’s a photo of the 1911

The H and P marked barrel is for the military Model 1911.

A commercial barrel for a 1917 Government Model will had a P and a N stamped on the bottom of the barrel just ahead of the lug. Going to be a hard one to find.

Your photos don't open up, so can't see marking. Polished hood looks like commercial. Does it have a marking on the back of the barrel, or possibly one on the top of the chamber (visible right at the front of the ejection port.)

No markings on back or top of barrel, trying photos again4890948910
