Manufactured in 1931, this is an excellent example of a pre-war Colt Super .38 pistol. These Super .38 Semi-automatic 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 numbered slide (numbered in the firing pin recess and inside bottom) is marked with the two-line address and patent dates, while the right side bears the model and 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 is marked "60". The blued barrel has a polished chamber hood and is marked with the serial number in front of the lug. It is fitted with blade and notch rear sights, wide checkered hammer, long grip safety, arched checkered mainspring housing, short milled trigger, checkered walnut grips, and a two-tone .38 Super Auto magazine.

Excellent, retains 95% of the original blue finish with scratches visible on the front gripstraps and some very light wear visible on the leading edges of the slide. The grips are also excellent with a few scattered light blemishes in the otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. An excellent example of a pre-war Colt Super .38 semi-automatic pistol!
