Greetings, Thought I would share with you a photo of my Colt 1927 Argentine Pistol during various stages of restoration. This pistol will soon replace my 1917 production Colt 1911 as my primary duty pistol. I own two Model 1927 Argentine Colts; serial numbers 9716 and 9721 respectively. Then, the following year, Argentina adopted a slightly modified version of the Belgian 1889 as Mauser Modelo Argentino 1891, also known as the 1891 Argentine Mauser. The 1891 Argentine Mauser is a cock-on-close, striker-fired repeater feeding from an internal five-shot, single-stack box magazine.

Our Assessment: From https://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=68064: “In 1914, the Argentine military adopted the Colt M1911 as their standard military sidearm and contracted with Colt to supply these guns. Argentina took shipment of 2,151 of these weapons between 1914 and 1919. In 1923, Argentina adopted an armaments bill that would eliminate Argentine dependency on foreign arms. Under this bill, the Argentine Congress authorized appropriations for a military modernization program and prepared the infrastructure for a domestic arms industry. In accordance with the new law, an aircraft factory was established in 1927, a munitions factory in 1933, a small steel mill in 1934, and a small arms factory in 1936, all of which were managed by Argentine army officers. In 1927, the Argentine Commission for Foreign Acquisitions negotiated a contract with Colt for the manufacture of M1911A1 .45 caliber self-loading pistols specially marked and serial numbered in a separate series, and secured a licensing agreement giving the Argentine government the right to manufacture these pistols using drawings, material specifications, instructions, etc. supplied by Colt. The 10,000 pistols were delivered by Colt from 1927 to 1933, and have become known as the Hartford Colts. Production of the Sistema Colts began in 1927, and 14,000 were produced by 1942. In 1945, a new factory (FMAP) was brought on-line and produced another 88,494 pistols through 1966”. The Sistema Colts continued to be used in Argentina until the 1990’s, when they were replaced by Browning High Powers. The Sistema Colts were not Colt clones, but except for finish and markings, they were identical to 1911A1 pistols produced by Colt, and the parts were interchangeable. Top quality steel was used in the construction, and they are known to be as tough and reliable as those made by Colt. This pistol was made at the FMAP factory in 1952 and is marked with the Argentine crest and “Ejercito Argentino”, indicating it was issued to the Army. This pistol is in Fine condition with 95% of its original black-oxide finish, matching serial number markings including magazine, and no import mark. The high quality of the Sistema Colts and the relatively few produced make them very collectable, especially ones like this with matching numbers in this condition. Please see our photos and good luck!

1927 Colt 1911A1
Argentina Army
Modelo 1927
In 1927 Colt manufactured 10,000 1911A1s for the Argentinean Army. This contract is unique in that it had its own serial number range starting at serial of: 1 to 10,000, and the pistols were marked in accordance with Argentine requirements.The only normal Colts markings are the standard left hand slide legend. These guns have the serial numbers in three places, the barrel, the slide and on the receiver frame under the main spring housing.Also notice the G marking on top of the receiver that would normally indicate “Government Order”.The corresponding mark under the slide is faint enough that it cannot be identified precisely and may be a “S” for “Sales”.Under the left stock, and around the upper grip screw bushing are the three commercial inspection marks normally applied to visible areas of the pistol.Below the bushing if the Colts “Verified” proof mark, “VP” normally applied to the upper left trigger guard bow just below the final inspector’s mark.Behind the bushing is the Colts final inspectors mark, “S” (normally applied at the top of the left trigger guard bow.)In front of the bushing, is the Colts assemblers mark, “20” normally applied to the top right trigger guard bow. This pistol does show the normal Colts “Prancing Pony” on the left. Most of these pistols observed have been refinished, but the example shown in Clawson appears to retain the original finish as well as the “Prancing Colt”.Notice the RA in a circle stamp on the receiver, barrel, and hammer.This marking indicates “Republic Argentina” and was applied by Argentinean inspectors at Colts.
These “Modello 1927”, made in Hartford, by Colts, pistols should not be confused with pistols made in Argentina under license from Colts, and marked D.G.F.M. Both pistols are quality products and generally interchange, but there is a perceived difference in value between the two. Reference Charles Clawsons “Colt .45 Service pistols”.
**Be careful as there are also 1911A1s that where actually manufactured in Argentina under license from Colt.
