Manufactured in 1933. The top of the barrel is marked with the standard single-line address while the model and caliber marking is on the left. The left of the frame has the standard two-line patent dates follower by the Rampant Colt, and the left of the trigger guard is marked "3/VP". The matching serial number is marked on the bottom of the frame and the left sides of the trigger guard and back strap, as well as being hand marked inside both grip panels. The rear of the matching cylinder carries the last two digits of the serial number, "27". The assembly number "613" is marked inside the loading gate. It is fitted with a blade front sight that has some additional material added, groove rear sight, and a pair of checkered hard rubber grips with Rampant Colts at the tops. Includes a letter from the factory which indicates that further details are unavailable due to lost or destroyed records. Also included is a correctly labeled Colt factory box numbered to a different gun.

Very fine, retains 90% of the original blue finish with some light muzzle/grip straps wear, and some thinning on the modified front sight that has a small amount of additional material added. 80% of the original case colors remain with the balance mostly a smooth grey patina. The grips are fine with some mild wear and some scattered light handling marks and mostly well-defined checkering. Mechanically fine. The box is good with two out of three of the lid side panels detached (one included) and otherwise mild wear.
