All serial numbers are matching, including on the bottom of the barrel, on the trigger guard lug (concealed, requires disassembly), left of the grip frame, and handwritten on the underside of both grip panels. The cylinder is unnumbered. Single letter sub-inspection marks are located on various components. Boxed script "GP" inspection cartouche stamped on the left grip panel. Threaded "pinched" blade front sight and top strap groove rear sight.

Exceptionally fine, retains 80% plus of the original finish with some scattered patches of flaking showing a smooth brown patina, 75% of the original case colors remaining on the hammer, and attractively aged brass trigger guard. The grips are also excellent with a few scattered light handling marks and a very crisp cartouche. Mechanically excellent.
