Original WWII Slides were not completed hardened steel - at one point armorers would machine the breech face and replace them life span of the original slides was 5000 rounds
Notice you see some slides with a color change on parkerizing front of slide was "hardened"

Contract slides where made by several companies
See photo for list
Balimoy Manufacturing (Venice, FL)
During later USGI contract periods, Balimoy manufactured hardened match-grade slides for the military. These are often stamped with "M" on top and carry the Cage Code 2U894.
The barrel 7791193 / 85 (date code) TZ14 P
TZ denotes Israeli made chrome lined barrel

I have both of these in my 1911
