Manufactured in 1932, this is an outstanding example of a pre-World War II Colt Ace pistol. Blade front and adjustable notch rear sights, the two-line address and patent dates on the left side of the slide, the Rampant Colt behind the serrations, and the Colt Ace logo and caliber markings on the right. The frame is marked "20" on the right side of the trigger guard, "3/VP" on the left and fitted with a short checkered trigger, wide checkered hammer, checkered arched mainspring housing, a set of fully checkered grips, and a two-tone magazine with Colt Ace marked base.

Excellent, retains 95% plus of the bright original blue finish with some very light edge wear and handling evidence on the front strap on top of the slide. The grips are excellent with only the slightest handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
