Rebated barrel with a band of floral engraving with the right side of the frame having a similar pattern around the edge and featuring "THE PROTECTOR PAT.MCH.6.83.AUG.29.93" in a circle inside the side plate. The left side plate is checkered around the border with "CHICAGO FIRE ARMS CO. CHICAGO, ILL" in a circle at the center. The left side plate twists off to reveal the magazine which is numbered to match the side plate and gun. The pistol has pearl grip panels, and the rear "grip" is fitted with a checkered hard rubber panel. Provenance: The Gateway Collection

Excellent. The pistol retains 98% original nickel finish with limited wear from cycling the action. The pearl is near excellent with a barely detectable hairline crack on the right panel. The hard rubber grip pad is also excellent with crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
