When was Springfield Armory Model 1911 - A1 Serial ww80976 manufactured?
Don't know exactly, however it was probably made recently.
Springfield made the first US Government contract version of this
.45 cal pistol (model 1911). However, Springfield did not
paticipate in the next production contract with the modified
version of the 1911, known as the A1. Colt & others did. So
that means that Springfield, on its own, has produced the A1
version (a very popular version) for sale to the public, decades
later then when the original A1 first appeared. The serial numbers
that begin with 'ww' probably mean that it is not a military issue
weapon. I'm not an expert in this area, please consult with one.
