The Colt Model 1907 was a .45 ACP U.S. Army contract pistol. Only 201 examples were manufactured. All except one were shipped to Springfield Armory in March 1908 to be issued for troop tests with the U.S. Cavalry.
The pistols in the 101 to 201 serial number range were equipped with a grip safety, an ejection port narrower than previous serial numbers, and an externally visible chamber indicator. The “KM” marking denotes Major Kenneth Morton, Chief Inspector and Accepting Officer during the period of 1907-1908.
As a transitional firearm, it’s fascinating to observe the Model 1907’s design changes that would eventually evolve into the Model 1911 pistol. It was an honor to restore this important piece of military history.

1916 Colt Commercial 1911
I sent my 1916 manufactured Colt Commercial 1911 for restoration and am blown away by how amazing it looks. Money well spent on what is to become a true family heirloom and will definitely get a lot of attention in the display case. Thank you Turnbull!
Union Switch & Signal
I have had my Dad’s Union Switch & Signal 1911 A-1 for many years. It had been refinished, but not to original condition. Turnbull Restoration craftsmen brought it back to its original condition when it left Swissvale Pa. in 1943. I display it to honor my Dad, and his service in WWII in the United States Marine Corp from 1943 to 1946. It’s in the family to stay!
Worth every penny!
Unbelievable work. Some of the finest craftsmanship I’ve seen in the firearm industry. Turnbull has worked on, restored, and engraved a number of revolvers, rifles and 1911s in my collection. True works of art!
