Here is a military Colt with documentation...

Ens. Tom Anderson was the OOD on the USS Utah when she was struck by two Japanese aerial torpedos a few minutes after 0800 on 7 Dec. 1941. She rolled over and went to the bottom of Pearl Harbor. She took many of her officers and crew with her. He was issued this Colt three weeks later.

I acquired the pistol and the holster with rig and documentation from his family in Seattle....
