Manufactured in 1943 with U.S. ordnance crossed cannon stamp on the left and "G.H.D." inspection mark on the right. The left side of the barrel has the standard "MATCH/bullseye/TARGET" marking, "THE WOODSMAN" on the left of the frame, and standard Colt and caliber markings on the left of the slide. The left of the trigger guard is marked "e/VP" and "23" is on the right. Fitted with a pinned blade front sight, adjustable notch rear sight, checkered plastic extended grips with Rampant Colts, and a full blue magazine with correctly marked base.

Excellent, retains 98% plus of the original blue finish with some light edge wear, a few light handling marks, and some of the markings lightly struck at the factory. The grips are also excellent with only the slightest handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
