A Detective friend of mine is working a case involving a 1911 that has unusual, to us, markings.
Right side of Slide:
Sist. Colt Cal. 11.25 mm Model 1927 1000XX
Left side of slide:
D. G. F. M. - (F.M.A.P.)
Top of slide:
100XX
Left side of frame at magazine release:
JLD ENT. Farm CT.
I think the markings near the mag release are those of the importer. The 100XX is the serial number, the 11.25 mm is .45 cal.
The questions concern the Sist. Colt and the D.G.F.M. markings. Is this an Argentine model, Balista Molina (spelling ?), or what?
The grips/stocks are after market and have Aztec-style symbols on both.
My friend is just curious and would like an answer faster than the paperwork request he's made through ATF. He would appreciate any info.
Thanks,
John
