Marvin,

From 1937 until almost 1944 Colt serial numbered the slide of their 1911A1's to the frame.

Early M1 Rifle restorations are among the hardest restorations to complete. The early parts are virtually impossible to find, and then with an original gas trap barrel going for $5000 and a set of original keystone springs selling for $2500 the problem is just finding them even if you have the money to spend. As with the Lugers, a lot of faking is going on.
