Colt 45 Magazine.

RS stamped.
The "R.S." stamp on a Colt 1911A1 indicates inspection by Colonel Robert Sears, whose initials denote U.S. Army Ordnance acceptance. Found on 1940–1941 models, this mark is highly sought after by collectors, as these pistols capture the historical transition from high-polish blued finishes to combat-standard Parkerization. Details & Identification Location: The "R.S." is stamped on the left side of the frame, near the magazine release or disconnector, often placed inside a small box. Production Year: 1940 and 1941.Production Numbers: Only about 35,000 Colt 1911A1s were produced in 1941. This low volume makes these specimens extremely scarce and valuable. Finishes: Early 1940 models feature Colt's famous high-polish blue, whereas 1941 models often transition to the matte Parkerized finish. P Proof: A standard military final acceptance proof often stamped on the top of the slide and left of the frame. Matching Slides: Authentic 1940-1941 models should have the serial number stamped on the inside of the slide to ensure it matches the frame.

Seller Q&A
WARNING
Why Buy from Guns.com?
PEACE OF MIND
Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction. And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process. We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it. We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store. And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process. We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.
WE SUPPORT LOCAL GUN STORES
Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community. Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state. At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible. That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.
WE KEEP IT SIMPLE
Most everything can be easily bought online these days. But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated. Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want. Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
