Prominent markings on the left side of the slide include MODEL 1911-22 and Chiappa Firearms Ltd., Dayton, Ohio. The right side of the frame is marked CHIAPPA FIREARMS LTD. DAYTON, OHIO, KIMAR ITALY, and bears the serial number 13E67903. The barrel hood is marked Cal. 22LR.

Condition report:
The pistol is in very good physical condition, retaining a high percentage of its original matte black finish. There is very light handling wear visible on the high edges of the slide and around the muzzle. The checkered wood grips are well-preserved with sharp texture and no significant dings. The fiber optic sights are intact and bright. The action appears to function correctly when cycled by hand, though we have not function-tested this firearm with live ammunition. The included magazines and accessories appear to be in good working order with minimal use.
