As I told you guys in another post, my son found an old COLT 1911 at his girl friends house(which she gave him).
I am a bit perplexed by some of the markings on this gun and you guys are the best I know.
I'll list some of the info and hopefully you boys can tell me the meaning.
I looked up the serial no. on the PROOFHOUSE website.
According to them, 7486 serial no. was built in 1912, however;
1.) the last patent date on the slide reads 1913,
2.) E.E.C. on the frame is code for inspector who worked for Remington 1917-18;
