Oct 06, 2009 Right side of slide stamped: EJERCITO ARGENTINO. Below that: SIST. COLT CAL.11.25 MM MOD 1927 There is an emblem stamped that is oval with a sun (with eyes and nose) on top of the oval. Inside oval, two hands clasped with a staff of some sort vertical behind them. Jul 18, 2006 Sounds like a Ballester Rigaud to me. Not a 1911, but still a decent surplus.45 ACP semi-auto. The Ballester-Molina pistol, originally known as Ballester-Rigaud (so marked during first years of manufacture, circa 1938 to 1940), were made in Argentine by Hispano Argentina de Automotives SA (HAFDASA) company. Manufacture started in 1938 in attempt to provide Argentinean police.

Modelo 1927
Contaduria General Del Ejercito Argentino
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. Usb to serial port driver windows 7.
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. Profibus expansion modules for mac. 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”.

Springfield 1911 Serial Numbers
There is alot of info out there, not all congruent. So it is hard to put my finger on exactly what is going on.
So maybe I will say what I do know, and someone can tell me what is wrong or what I have missed. Ok?
Here goes:
Argentina got 10,000 1911s from Colt, serial numbered 1-10000. Then, they started making there own in the 1930's under license from Colt, using Colt equipment. They made 38,000 up through 1946. From 1947 to 1966 another 75,000 or so were made.
The serial numbers for the ones from 1945 to 1966 are listed in the thread https://www.1911forum.com/forums/show.threadid=10841
My questions are:
- What was the slide marking on the first 10,000? Colt or EJERCITO ARGENTINO?
- What about the guns made prior to 1945 and their serial numbers?
- Where do the Ballester-Rigaud & Ballester Molina fit in? Before or after the 'Sistema'?
- Were the 'Sistemas' all military issue, or where there some commercial ones?
- What holes do I have in my info?
I am just trying to get the full picture. And the clear one. I am one of those that likes to get it absolutely right before I start passing the information on to others, so that is why I am turning to you for help.
I appreciate your patience on this one. And any input. Hope this doesn't bug anybody.
(BTW - I just bought one from CDNN and I am waiting for it to show up, so the next best thing is to research it. Not anywhere near as nice as having the gun in hand, but until it gets here. ).
Thanks.
Scott
