Manufactured in 1942, this pistol is listed by serial number on page 70 of "The Colt U.S. General Officer's Pistol" by Greeley as issued in 1954, as well as on page 138 of "The Colt Pocket Hammerless Automatic Pistols" by Brunner further detailing the pistol as issued to Brigadier General Isidor Schwarner Ravdin (1894-1972), who served as executive officer and chief of the surgical service for the U.S. Army's 20th General Hospital during World War II and was the first Major General in the Medical Corps Army Reserve. Includes an un-numbered craft style box.

Very fine as professionally refinished, retaining nearly all of the finish with a softened U.S. property marking, some minor edge wear, some limited pitting/handling marks under the finish, and some minor handling wear. The grips are also very fine with too short a grip screw and defined checkering. The grip safety does not completely return and the slide catch slips, otherwise mechanically fine.
