Beginning in 1903, the first gun of this model was serial number 19999 and the numbering continued in descending order (19999, 19998, 19997) until terminal serial number 16000 which was manufactured in 1906. This is the first example of the ascending serial numbers. In honor of the 125th anniversary of American Rifleman, the following is an excerpt from the June, 1938 issue: The Colt Service Model Ace. Clawson does provide shipping and procurement information for the M1911, M1911A1, M1917 revolvers and commercial Colt Government Model pistol variations (1912-1970) in his books Colt.45 Service Pistols, Colt.45 Government Models and Collector's Guide to Colt.45 Service Pistols 3rd Edition. Duplicate Serial Numbers: Colt manufactured 60,000 pistols in the Ithaca serial number range (804), 41,696 in the Remington Rand serial number range (900), and 4,171 in the US&S serial number range (10896). Enter the serial number, without spaces or dashes, to search the database. If multiple models appear for your serial number simply match the date with the appropriate model, as certain vintage firearms can share serial numbers between different models.
