The gun is very smooth and has the appearance of a gun that was used a lot (both being holstered and shot). I have taken the gun apart and can not find any other numbers, and nothing appears to be filed off either. The opposite side of the slide states "Model of 1911.U.S.Army", so I'm assuming it's not a commercial issue. The last date listed on ithe slide is "Aug 19 1913". The only other noticeable numbers are near the bottom of the trigger guard (near the magazine release) which is stamped "46". It is a nickel plated pistol with the inspectors mark of "S17" (Eagle's Head). I am new to the 1911 pistols, and have been trying to track down where the serial numbers are listed. I was probably the only family member that would drool every time I walked by the pistol even as a young child, and I guess that's why I now have this. Needless to say this gun has made impressions on many family members for many years. This was a gun that I always remember seeing on his end table locked and loaded and one that my mother also remembers when she was a kid seeing locked and loaded. I have just recently inherited my grandfathers 1911.
