Mystery 1911 slide

[nithburg]

I bought this slide several months ago, I was told it was a Norinco 1911A1 but I don't think it is as it looks nothing like the other Norc slides I have. It has a fixed front half round shaped sight and is finished in a flat black that looks factory applied. The only marking on it is one letter "K" stamped on the inside. Anyone have any ideas on what it might be?

Thanks

Looks like a refinished military. If in fact a Norinco, then it has been refinished. Are the cocking serrations sharp? That is usually the indicator of rework.

Thanks Dr. Jim.

The serrations look fairly sharp, certainly machined. They don't look like they've been sandblasted or anything.

K means Brazilian made slide .
