Item Details

This U.S. Army Model 1911 pistol is being sold by the descendants of U.S. WWI Veteran John L. Cleveland. Very little oral history of Mr. Cleveland's participation in the Great War has been passed down through the generations, and no documentation is known to exist. The grandson of Mr. Cleveland was only able to offer the following information: "Unfortunately, I do not have much information on my grandfather's wartime service in WWI. He died when I was quite young, and my father, uncle and aunt who might have had information about it have all passed away too. My grandfather (His name was John L. Cleveland) suffered from progressive hearing loss. My father once mentioned that it was due "to all the gunfire he endured during the war" while serving with an artillery unit. He was in France during 1918, and returned to the US in 1919. He was college educated, so I assume he was an officer. That's about all I know."..... The Colt Model 1911 is a single-action, recoil-operated, semi-automatic pistol chambered for the .45 ACP cartridge. Designed by John Browning, the Model 1911 Colt Government is the best known of his designs to use the short recoil principle in its basic design. The pistol was widely copied, and this operating system rose to become the pre-eminent type of the 20th century and of nearly all modern centerfire pistols. The pistol served as the standard-issue sidearm for the United States Armed Forces from 1911 to 1985, and is widely regarded by gun historians as the best firearm design to date. Battlefield experience in World War I led to some small external changes to the M1911. Completed in 1924, the new version was called the M1911 A1. An original U.S. Colt 1911 issued during WWI is widely known as the most desirable "Collector/ Investment" firearm of all time. This gun is 100% "Fresh To The Market" and has never been in an Historical Collection. According to Colt Archives, this U.S. Army Model 1911 left the factory in 1918. This gun appears to be all original with a 5.3" barrel, diamond checkered walnut grips, safety grip, lanyard ring with original leather strap, period correct steel magazine, and is correctly marked" "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" "1902" & "1913" Patent Dates "COLT'S PT. F.A. MFG. CO. HARTFORD CT. U.S.A" "MODEL OF U.S. ARMY 1911" and U.S. Ordnance proof marked by J.M. Gilbert (The JMG Monogram is found on original Colt 1911s from 1917 to 1918, SN - 230,001 to 302,000). This gun also comes with an original M1912 Cavalry swivel leather holster with leg strap. Holster is marked: Back - "ROCK ISLAND/ ARSENAL/ 1914"; Swivel - "G.K." E.F.M." & Front - "3AER0123". Before World War I, the M1912 Cavalry Swivel Holster was designed for the soon to be adopted Colt 1911 .45. It was produced from 1911-1916, although commercial models were also made well after WWI. The M1912 is identified by its extended hanger and swivel section. The holster was designed for mounted cavalry troops, so that it could still be tied to the leg while bent. This gun has a nice tight action, sharp bore and appears to be in good working order.
