The Colt Government Model Pre Series 70 “BB Marked” reflects an important transition in Colt’s 1911 development. Identified as a 1970 prototype in the source material, it bridges the earlier pre-Series 70 configuration and the models that followed.
This example features the “BB” collet-style barrel bushing along with a flared barrel, details noted in the original description as part of Colt’s evolving design approach for the platform. It is chambered in .45 ACP and fitted with a 5-inch barrel and walnut grips.
Also included are the original matching box and a Series 70 manual, making it a well-documented package with period accessories referenced in the source material.
