Manufactured in 1943, during the height of World War II. The left side of the slide has the standard two-line Ithaca address and there is a "P" proof on top. The left of the frame has the "FJA" inspection mark and "P" proof. The right side of the frame has the standard U.S. property, model, army, and serial number markings. The initials "CAP" are lightly scratched on the left side of the frame. The blued barrel is marked "P" on the left of the lug and "COLT 45 AUTO" on the lower left. It is fitted with blade and notch sights, serrated slide stop and thumb safety, short stamped trigger, checkered narrow hammer, arched serrated mainspring housing with lanyard loop, a pair of checkered Keyes Fiber grips, and a full blue "R" marked magazine.

Excellent, retains 97% of the original parkerized finish with some scattered nicks/scratches, very light edge wear, and a few scattered light handling marks. The grips are also excellent with only the slightest handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
