Description:

Manufactured in 1929, the first year of production. These Super .38 pistols were first shown to the public at the August 1928 Camp Perry National Matches and were available for purchase by the start of 1929. The left side of the matching number slide is marked with the two-line address and patent dates while the right side bears the caliber marking along with the Rampant Colt. The serial number is on the right of the frame, the left of the trigger guard is marked "1" over "VP", and the right of the trigger guard is marked "60". The unmarked barrel is blued with a polished chamber hood. Fitted with a blade front sight and notch rear sight, wide checkered hammer, long grip safety, arched checkered mainspring housing, and checkered walnut grips. Magazine absent.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retains 97% plus of the original blue finish with some light edge/cycling wear, primarily on leading edges of the slide, and a very light takedown mark. The grips are also excellent with a few very light handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
