1911 colt commander 9mm luger please help

So I bought this gun. it came in the dark red box with the yellow label the serial number matches the gun.
the gun is a 9mm luger,I didn't know colt made a 9mm luger (para) in the late 80's?
the barrel is marked 9 MM luger parrabellum but it does not say colt (or any brand name) on it.
the magazine is marked 9mm luger and colt with a rampant colt emblem
the roll marks on the slide look just like a pre-70 series it is not marked 70 series, or mark 4 it has a 70 series action without the extra safety. every other colt I have owned with this style box was an 80 series but I am just starting to buy commander models and they are different apparently.
the model is 04614 and the serial # is FC 188xx
can someone tell me what year the gun was made? and if the barrel should be marked colt or if it's an after market barrel and if you have a picture of a similar gun could you send me a picture that shows what the slide should look like
thanks so much

Call Colt and they will tell you the year made but nothing else without paying for a factory letter.
1-800-962-COLT
There is no such thing as a Series 70 Commander.
The Mk IV Series 70 Government Model has the Accurizor collet bushing. There is not room enough in the Commander slide for the collet.
My 1991A1 factory barrel is marked 9mm Luger Parabellum, no Colt trademark on the barrel, so yours is probably original, too.
I have a 9mm Commander with a "FC" serial number. The barrel is NOT marked Colt, only Cal 9mm Luger Parabellum. S40
the bottom two pictures are exactly what I have, can yu show me a picture of the other side? mine says 9mm luger
Box is long gone, but I recall that it was black with gold lettering -- S40
that would be a box I have never seen....
