Manufactured in 1945, the left side of the slide is marked with the standard two-line address and patent numbers , followed by the Rampant Colt, and the right side has the standard Service Model Ace and caliber markings. The right side of the frame has the U.S. property marking over the serial number, crossed cannons at the rear, and "90" on the trigger guard. The left side of the frame has the "G.H.D." inspection mark and "e/VP" on the trigger guard. The barrel is unmarked and has a polished chamber. It is fitted with blade front and adjustable notch rear sights, short stamped trigger, serrated arched mainspring housing, narrow checkered hammer, long grip safety, checkered reinforced grips, and a blued magazine with Colt Service Model Ace markings on the base.

Very fine, retains 90% of the original parkerized finish with some light edge wear and extensive scattered speckled brown oxidation scattered lightly throughout, more concentrated on the front strap. The grips are very fine with some scattered light blemishes in the otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
