Manufactured in 1944 with standard markings as well as the rare and desirable "U.S. PROPERTY" marking on the right side of the frame and a partial crossed cannons ordnance stamp on the left, as well as an "M" stamped just in front of the serial number that correctly appears to have been stamped before the finish was applied. It is fitted with blade front and flat top notch rear sights, and checkered grips with Colt medallions.

Excellent, retains 97% of the original blue finish with some scattered light edge wear and handling marks. The grips are also excellent with a few scattered minor blemishes in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
