Stamp on a 1911 - what is it?

[pee wee]

Colt 1911 WWII, this image is right above the grip panel. Anyone have any idea what this is?

Thanks.

Hard to tell but it looks like Springfield's crossed cannons.

Looks like the Springfield Armory stamp, maybe they made some for Colt during the war?

That is the mark of God when he created the 1911.

Family crest of John Browning?

Oh I’ve sent that before. That symbol means you must bring whatever it is stamped on to Coltdefender ASAP. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.00.

What Ikarus said. US Govt acceptance stamp.
What is stamped on the left side under the mag release?

not sure, a friend of mine asked me what it was. This is the only photo he had at the moment.
