shipped on 25 April 1914 to Ordnance Officer, Port of Embarkation, Galveston, Texas. 'WGP' cartouche is for Major Walter G. Penfold, Inspector of Ordnance, 2 January 1911-30 September 1914. Slide with rampant colt in centre is typical of 1918 production, and grips without diamonds are a late Colt type, so this pistol may be made up from mixed parts.
