This review details a rare Russian contract Colt 1911 from WWI, one of approximately 51,000 purchased. Identification is complex, relying on serial numbers (C21,000-C89,000) and often requiring Colt historical letters, as standard commercial models share this range. Later contracts feature Cyrillic markings, but earlier models like the one shown lack them. These pistols have a long service history, seeing action in multiple conflicts.
