This special commemorative is rarely seen on the open market and is a great find for the Colt collector and would make a nice gift for someone still serving. The pistol is really beautiful with gold filled engraving on the sides of the slide and polished rosewood grips. This is a Colt 1911A1 MK IV Series 70 pistol built by the Colt Custom Shop to commemorate the San Diego Police Department. They gained a reputation as a reliable handgun with plenty of stopping power, and are held in high regard by those who have used them. Our Assessment: The 19-A1 pistols served the military of the United States from 1911 to 1985, through two World Wars and the Korean and Vietnam wars. The right rear of the slide is engraved with a San Diego Police Badge and the date 1981. The right side of the slide is engraved with a scene of a police car with two officers, and another scroll engraved banner with a shield in the center marked with “SDPOA” and with a figure of a man holding a torch in one hand and a sword in the other.
The center section of the banner is marked “San Diego Police Department / Special Edition”.
