Manufactured in 1937, the left side of the matching numbered slide has the standard two-line address and patent dates while the right has the standard National Match and Colt markings followed by the Rampant Colt. The left of the trigger guard is marked "P/VP" while the right is marked "38", and the standard Government Model marking is over the serial number on the right of the frame. The replacement blued barrel is marked "P" on the left of the lug. It is fitted with blade front and notch rear sights, checkered trigger, replacement slide stop, thumb safety, and wide hammer, an arched checkered mainspring housing, a replacement full blue "S" marked magazine, and a pair of checkered walnut grips.

Fine, retains 75% of the original blue finish and the balance having thinned to a smooth grey patina, primarily on edges and the grip straps, and a few scattered light handling/takedown marks. The grips are also fine with some scattered light blemishes in the otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
