No! The Colt 1911 and 1911A1 has been chambered in .45ACP, .38 Super, and 9mm Luger (Magnum, P.I. carried one), among others, but never anything as small as as any of the .32 class of cartridges.
Colt, and several others have manufactured other pocket autos in .32ACP (hence, the name of the ammo) but the full size pistol was never made in anything this small.

No, it was introduced in 45acp. There have been some made in 38 super and in 9mm; plus a number of wildcat calibers, such as 38/45 (where the case is necked down to 357). John Browning, who is the father of the 1911 Colt, designed and had produced quite a few weapons, including a 32 auto.

NO.
The Model 1911 has been manufactured in a number of different calibers, but no .32 calibers.
Most common by several orders of magnitude are .45 ACP models followed by .38 ACP, .38 ACP Super, 9mm Parabellum, and 10mm Bren. I think there might have been some M-1911's made in .40 S&W, but I won't swear to it. There was also a .22 LR version made called the Colt Ace.
There are several other calibers that were chambered for European and South American markets that did not permit military caliber handguns.

When Was The Colt 1911 Made

Not to my knowledge. The only caliber other than .45 ACP was .22 LR in the Service Ace and Ace. There have been a lot of conversions to various calibers, but .32 wasn't one of them.
The Service Ace was developed for the military as a practice piece. It was fitted with a special floating chamber that caused the recoil of the .22 LR to be the same as the .45. After the war the Ace model was marketed with very little recoil to appeal to shooters who wanted a 1911 but couldn't handle the recoil of a .45.

Bound's hubby here: Your Colt .32 is a Model M1903 (M Series) Pocket Automatic. Up through WWII this was the general officer's pistol of the US military. It was offered in both .32 and .380 ACP. You should be able to get magazines for this pistol from Numerich Arms and, perhaps, Cheaper Than DIrt. You could also check with Triple K Manufacturing, a US manufacturer of inexpensive after-market magazines. Good luck.

No, but there was the old 1903 Pocket Hammerless in .32acp cal. It looked a lot like the later 1911.

No. It was designed as .45. There are some Super .38's though

No, never heard about that.
but there are some clones.
for example spanish-italian "franchi-llama" in cal. .32acp (7,65 browning) and .22lr.
they are former clones (ok, little design differences and blowback) of 1911A1.
