1) If it's an SP1, it has a LARGE pivot pin hole.
2) There should be a "C" and another letter (could be any of several) in the recess under the rear sight. It it concievable that, if it's a very early piece, before Colt started using more than one forge, that those letters aren't there, but then the barrel markings would be different, since the "chome bore" markings would indicate a later barrel.
Finally, look at the right side of the upper, just ahead and above the ejection port. There should be two very tiny and light stampings at that point; a triangle and a square. Each will have something inside of the figure. Those are the ptoof marks. You may have to use a strong light and magnifying glass to see them, because they're usually very lightly stamped.
If the proof marks are there, it's a Colt unit. If they're not, it's somebody elses.
