Manufactured in 1920. The top of the barrel ahead of the Hartford address is inscribed "VERITE SANS PEUR" which is French translated "Truth Without Fear". In addition, there is light scroll engraving on the sides at the muzzle and the one line address has a simple line border. The butt is inscribed "Don Cowen". Lightly engraved trigger guard, back strap and ejector housing. The upper left front of the frame is marked with a "crown/V" proofmark. The serial number is marked on the bottom of the frame, none present on the trigger guard and a partially visible mis-matched number on the back strap. Provenance: The Gateway Collection

Very good as refinished with a few patches of minor pitting, modified front sight, some scattered spotting. Worn grips are fair. Mechanically functions, missing half cock.
