Yeah your right I don't know anything about them...
First the blue on the gun from the picture looks to be dull, like the brushed blue of the WW1 military contracts.
Second I can see the C prefix, but not the rest of the serial number...This was a mistake on my part....they used the C prefix until 1970...but recently they have reintroduced the WW1 Military as a ????? commerative for lack of a better term.
The markings on the middle two I can't make out from the picture...and the bottom one is a series 80?
The 1908 protype was just a variation of the Colt model 1905..which was the first 45 ACP auto....The 1900 and 1902's were 38 auto caliber, everything after the 1900 were improvments resulting in the 1911.
Now for your 1911A1 pre NM... have you obtained a factory letter...as it would have been a special order gun....Other wise it looks just like a standard 1911A1 of the era...
