Manufactured in 1942 with "U.S. PROPERTY" mark on the right side of the frame along with other standard markings and features. Introduced as a commercial pistol, the 1903 was adopted by the U.S. military after proving a commercial success and became the standard sidearm for General Officers during WWII and was still issued into the 1970s. Although this pistols serial number falls in the middle of known General Officer pistols, it is not identified as such (561518 and 561530 both identified).

Very fine, retains 85% plus of the original blue finish with some light edge wear and a few scattered small patches of light spotting. The grips are also very fine with a few scattered light blemishes in the otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
