The ejection port window is lower (that is, larger) than on the WWII guns. The slide serrations are slanted as is found on Drake-manufactured National Match slides and also the Colt Gold Cup model, rather than running vertically, as on the original. (The Metal Form Corporation made magazines during WWII, but I''m not sure if the current company and the historical company share a lineage.) The Auto-Ordnance uses a seven-round Metalform magazine with the normal flat-shelf follower but with an easily removable metal base plate. The sights are identical to the WWII guns, with small ramped front and square notch rear. The more familiar green-and-gray-hued finish fond on many U.S.WWII military arms came later.The grip panels are checked brown plastic and the arched mainspring housing has the obligatory lanyard loop. The Parker Rustproof Company of Detroit, Michigan developed both processes. The finish is similar to that used by the 1911 manufacturers during WWII, which was either a Parco-Lubrite finish, a manganese-based phosphating process used by Colt, or Parkerizing, which uses a zinc base. Out of the box, the Auto-Ordnance 1911 looks to be a newly manufactured twin to a World War II 1911A1 with some exceptions.
