Manufactured in 1936, the left side of the modified 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 triggerguard is marked "x/VP" while the right is marked "60", and the standard Government Model marking is over the serial number on the right of the frame. The barrel has a polished chamber with the remainder blue and is marked "COLT 45 AUTO MATCH" on the lower left and "MP" in a circle on the left of the lug. It is non-factory, custom fitted with Patridge blade front and Bo-Mar adjustable notch rear sights, checkered walnut grips, checkered trigger, slide stop, thumb safety, and wide hammer, and an arched checkered mainspring housing. The two-tone magazine is marked "COLT/45 AUTO" on the base.

Very fine, retains 85% of the original high polish blue finish on the frame and most of the refinished blue on the slide, with some slight thinning on the front strap and mainspring housing due to handling and a few scattered light handling/takedown marks. The grips are also very fine with a minor chip at the top of the right panel, otherwise minimal handling marks, and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
