This is a Government Model barrel Larry. It will likely drop right in. Due to the age of your pistol, tolerances back then may not have been as precise as today so be prepared to do or have done some minor fitting for smooth operation and barrel lockup..

Being that old you will definitely need to have it professionally fit and checked unless you have the ability to check the rotation of the link and centering of the barrel to the firing pin hole. Two tools you can buy from Brownells will help with that.

I personally wouldn't alter any war time 1911 such as yours as the value would take a significant hit. But, if that's not an issue, it might simply drop in or require some fitting.
