Think back to a time when U.S. exported 1911 to Brazil, not the reverse. This appears to be a Colt export to Brazil, it has the patent roll marks on the slide and "C" serial numbered commercial frame. Interesting checkered MSH and trigger. Some surface rust a wear on the slide, but overall she's in good condition

I'm living in South American and bought this off a local police officer that didn't want it because .45 ammo is expensive. When I bought it, he only had 5rnds for his duty carry. I gave him $450, enough to buy a Taurus 38spl and two boxes of ammo. A few months before I head back to the U.S. I'll fill out an ATF/US Customs (now Home Land Security) form 6 and hope they approve it. If anyone has additional info on Brazilian export models I would greatly appreciate it. |
