I was conducting a Springfield Armory M1911-A1 Armorer Class a short while ago, when a student brought in this fine piece of machinery. As you can see it is stamped, Colt Patent on the slide, along with Springfield Armory stamped as well. Towards the rear of the slide and just below the slide stop you see a flaming ball stamp. Any ideas what that mark represents? I wanted to find out a little more history about the pistol.
Thank you for your time and help!
