Ok, so I got a screaming deal on an Argentine Colt 1911.  I know just a little about these guns.  The thing that is confusing is the bottom of the trigger gaurd is stamped "CIA St Albany VT".  Now, I am pretty sure St Albany VT is Century Arms, but CIA?  Wouldnt it be CAI?  Just curious about the one marking I dont understand.

So now I know that I might as well have stole this pistol, but I still dont know about the CIA stamp on the bottom.  Great sight by the way.

CIA = Century International Arms, just an importer mark on bottom of TG.

Kinda what I thought, but thought it was Century Arms Inc. or something.  IE: CAI.  Cool, at least now I know.  Thanks.
