Picked this up from an estate a while ago...Black Army 1911 that was sent back to the factory post war (WW1) to have NM fixed sights installed along with a new barrel and upgrades to an A1 such as an arched mainspring housing and new trigger...Came back from the factory with an unmarked box with test target and the original barrel numbered....Pics of gun as found....Posted elsewhere and seems to be legit...Sent for the letter and after the fact found out that Colt doesn't have records of their rebuilds.... Had to have went to someone that was legal to own a current service pistol as they wouldn't have worked on a "borrowed" pistol...Test targets as far as I know only came with Match pistols on the 1911...Comments welcome...Thanks for looking....
