It’s pretty amazing I just literally picked it up now so I haven’t taken it apart yet but I plan to soon by the way I think it’s the original finish and original barrel. Thanks CMP couldn’t be happier!!!
Colt Serial number 376261 dates to mid 1918. The highest production range that year, ser #'s 233601-580600

The slide could be from anywhere between 1914 to 1945.

An original barrel from your ser # range would not have "Colt .45 Auto" on top like that. It is probably a commercial replacement post-WWII.

Not all original, but a great Colt! Congrats! :)

Picked up my new field grade 1911A1 today. Not sure why it was marked field maybe other than the replacement TZ slide. Has rebuild ANAD 8/90 stamp and GHD stamp on it as well as faint cross cannons. 1985 new barrel.

would have liked matching frame to receiver but very happy with it.

As nice as it looks I probably could have gone rack grade.

The slide is original to 1918 “model of 1911” on slide is only produced
Before WW2 before 1911A1’s.

The barrel you could be right I will need to do more research on.

The Trigger and grips are definitely a 1911A1.

This should help. Depends on lug markings.

Not surprised but this timeline is probably way off. Of course it assumed I had 1100 in front of me and no gaps in the numbering. It appears they are moving through the numbers at a pretty decent clip. I'm thinking now that my number may be called in the next 4-6 weeks. My new guess is now 06/06/2021.

My first round 1911 Certificate from CMP is dated June 6. Not that it means anything, but I just thought it was kind of cool that it lined up with such a historic day.

Be safe.
I wont have any FFLs. I'd be stationed somewhere, not deployed temporarily.

Well I'm a somebody else that never got a RGN !! and Ali left me message that I have 5 days to get back with her. So I called this Am and talked to her and she said all three grades are good so I took a Rack Grade most of my Garands are Field Grands everyone that they sent I was happy with and this should be the same so if you never got a RGN it might pop up.
