In your photo, the barrel does not appear to be blued. It looks Parkerized. Can you show a better photograph of the barrel and its markings? Thanks.

Shipped mid October 1944. Barrel should be blue as mentioned and probably have an F on the bottom of the barrel just ahead of the lug.

The barrel is blued but missing alot of blueing with a P near the lug.I am trying to attach pics.

BEfore the 1911A1 became collectible is was common for the owner to polish the blue off the hood, as found on the commercial model .45.

I am still trying to post pics and they uploaded but for some reason I am having issues posting them.There is bluing loss all over the barrel but has a great bore.

What are the barrel markings, ahead of the lug, and on either side of the lug?
