I bought a rough condition barrel for my 1911A1 to use for shooting so I could protect my high-condition HS barrel. Interestingly, when I examined the rough barrel, it has an ambiguous mark over the chamber and a "5" stamped under the barrel. No other obvious markings including no "H" over the chamber. This looks like it might be a very very early Colt barrel but I can't tell. It could just be something else. Does anyone have some expertise in these 1911 barrels and can offer an opinion? Thanks.
Sorry but these are the best photos I could generate. The small "5" and the ambiguous mark over the chamber are all the markings there are.
