I recently purchased an older Colt 1911 from a coworker who had it sitting around for some time. A serial number (C126xxx) check indicates that the frame was made in 1920 as a commercial model. It states government model above the serial number. The pistol appears to have a blued finish and a long trigger. There are several markings on the pistol which I am failing to identify... The first of which is on the inner frame near the hammer. The marking appears to be either 2 S's overlapping or an S overlapping a G. The second mark i cannot identify is on the inner slide near the firing pin; this marking is Y2. I have located several of the other markings on the pistol and identified them via another site. I am including all images of the 1911 in hopes that someone will be able to identify the markings and advise what they mean for this particular Colt, and more importantly advise if these parts are native to a Colt produced in 1920. Any assistance is appreciated.
