These had the old style Hartford address and patents on the left and Colt Automatic Calibre 45 on the right plus assorted Argentine crest and military branches as required.Īs per Clawson's GM book. Me thinks the word Sistema "Colt" refers to Browning's design as a generic term such as we might refer to a Mazda with a rotary engine as a System Wankel car - 29 mpg.Īnd last but not least there were earlier purchases of USA made Hartford Colts in the M1911 style designated "Pistola Sistema 'Colt' Modelo Argentino 1916, Calibre. 45" marked with the standard Hartford address and patents on the left and Colt Automatic Calibre.45 on the right plus whatever other markings were required by the Argys.

It is a copy of a 1927 Colt GM (M1911-A1 style) except for one or two minor details. with D.G.F.M - (F.M.A.P.) marked on left side, and which was manufactured in Argentina after 1945 until 1966.
