Nice 1944 Colt,all original

[Johnny P]

All the Colt 1911A1 barrels I have seen had a mark on the bottom of the chamber ahead of the lug.

Here are two Colt 1911A1 barrels with the COLT 45 AUTO on the left side of chamber. P proof on left side of lug, and ahead of lug as described.

I did not see no G,next time I have it out I will look again,thanks

It won't necessarily be a G. During WWII production Colt used several different marking ahead of the lug. May be a letter, a number, or combination.

If it doesn't have a marking there, may have been removed when the chamber was polished.

If it doesn't I will find the correct barrel for it.Thanks
