So there is this 1943 1911 A1.
It is in great shape. It is parkerized. The front of the slide is discolored and I read that means the slide was original blued "(Du-lite) and this part of the slide ends up darker due to it's heat treatment.
There doesn't seem to be any "rearsenal" marks on the gun.
My question is, did the DoD parkerize formerly "blued" 1911's? Or only private firms?
It's a high quality job.
