FYI, the 1911 was around before the year 1911. Military testing started in 1906. 1911 was the year that the military adopted the 1911 pistol.

Was it named 1911 before 1911?
Colt 1911 Special Army S/N 1 appears to be the very first Colt model 1911 Special Army.

The story I heard (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm sure you will): colt produced 8 and for testing or the government using 5 shooters, a bucket of water and 2 guys reloading.
Shooters would empty a magazine and drop the gun in the bucket of water and pick up the next loaded gun. The reloader a would pull the gun out of the water, reload it and hand it back to a shooter. So on and so forth until they expended 5000 rounds all without a jam.
Is this true or a fairy tale?
Either way, what would that piece set a fella back for?

I have heard something similar before. There were at least 5 guns tested, and s/n 5 completed the 6000 round endurance test.
S/N 2 was used to mold the first holsters for the army.

No 1 would likely go for some serious six figures at an auction. Hell, wouldn't doubt 7 figures.

All joking aside
I do wish I had a 1911. One day one day
