Originally manufactured in 1943 by Union Switch & Signal, the frame of this pistol was subsequently selected for upgrade to National Match configuration at Springfield Armory, where it was fitted with a replacement Colt Government Model slide along with the other upgrades. The left of the frame has the partial "R.C.D." inspection mark and "P" proof, while the right has the standard serial number, U.S. property, and army/model markings along with "SA", "T", and "NM" marks. The Colt slide has the model, manufacturer, and caliber markings on the left followed by the Rampant Colt, with the Colt address on the right along with "7893" matching serial number. The blued barrel has the matching serial number and standard National Match markings on the chamber hood, "M P" on the left of the lug, and a boxed "C" on the right of the lug. The barrel bushing has standard National Match markings. It is fitted with a Patridge blade front sight, Springfield Armory stamped Micro adjustable rear sight, checkered slide stop and thumb safety, arched serrated mainspring housing, adjustable serrated trigger, narrow checkered hammer, a pair of checkered walnut grips with the right panel marked "19" in white paint, and a full blue "L" marked magazine. Includes a shipping box addressed from Camp Perry in Port Clinton, Ohio, two extra magazines, and a cleaning rod.

Very fine as Springfield Armory upgraded to National Match configuration retaining 95% plus of the parkerized finish with some light handling/edge wear and a light takedown mark. The grips are also very fine with a few scattered light blemishes in the otherwise crisp checkering and the above mentioned paint marking. Mechanically excellent. The opened retaped box is very good.
