It isn't known if the additional serial numbers were part of a refurbishment program or not. In the late 1940's or early 1950's, some of the pistols still in service - both 19 models - had two additional serial numbers stamped on them on the slide and frame on the right side.

The serial number on top of the slide is prefixed with "No." The markings and serial numbers as described by the OP are correct and in the proper places.
Argentine inspectors at the Hartford factory inspected and stamped "R" or "RA" - both in an oval - on each. Gherovici states that all 10,000 of the Colt manufactured 1927 pistols were delivered between 19. Further information may have been discovered since, of course. The most authoritative source on Argentine pistols that I know of is "MILITARY PISTOLS OF ARGENTINA" by Alex Gherovici published in 1994. On the right side of the slide is the Argentineicon Crest and: The right side of the slide is marked the Argentine crest, EJERCITO. Markings: The left side of the slide is marked D.G.F.M. Make: DGFM-FMAP (Fabrica Militar de Armas Portatiles) Rosario, Santa Fe, Argentina. On the left side of the slide (the Colt logo is stamped behind these lines): Description: DGFM FMAP Argentine Army Model 1927 Sistema Colt 1911 45 ACP Semi-Automatic Pistol. Serial numbers were stamped in Colt’s italic numbers on top of the slides, under the mainspring housing, and (usually) on top of the barrel. The 10,000 Hartford Colts made for Agentina prior to production of Sistemas were delivered from 1927 to 1933, serial #’s 1-10,000." The production period was from Jto February 16, 1928. Can anyone help me with a value or any comps for comparison? Are they valued lower or higher than the Sistemas? I've searched Gunbroker and some other sites and have read the sticky on the 1911 Forum. I have several Sistemas and am able to find values for those but cannot locate any of the Hartford's to get comparable values. Appears to have been re-parked a long time ago and has light rust and some pitting over the finish. Looking at one of these (below) exactly as described.
