WW1 French Contract Colt 1911 for Tank Crewmen
This video delves into a rare World War I French Contract Colt 1911 pistol, specifically noting its potential issuance to French tank crewmen. The description highlights that these pistols are visually indistinguishable from standard commercial 1911s and can only be identified by serial number or Colt factory letter. France purchased 5,000 of these pistols between April 1915 and January 1916. After the war, they were sold as surplus. The video also mentions Ozark Machine Gun for loaning the firearm.
