Manufactured in 1933, the included factory letter confirms the pistol's configuration, including a 4 3/4 inch barrel chambered for .22 caliber, blue finish, and type of grips not listed, when sent in a lone shipment to the Abercrombie & Fitch Company in New York City, New York, on January 12, 1934. Features fixed oval blade front and adjustable tangent rear sights, unmarked blued barrel with polished chamber hood, along with checkered slide catch, short trigger, thumb safety, wide spur hammer, and arched mainspring housing. The right of the slide bears the two-line Colt address and patent dates with Rampant Colt, with the "<ACE>" designation and caliber marking on the right side. The right of the frame bears the serial number, the "4" and "triangle/VP" marked on the left of the trigger guard. Fitted with a pair of checkered walnut grips and a correct two-tone blued magazine marked "COLT/<ACE>/22LR" on the base.

Excellent, retaining 97% original bright blue finish with some dried grease, some minor edge wear, a few scattered minor specs of surface rust on the front grip strap, and minor handling marks. The grips are also excellent with crisp grip checkering. Mechanically excellent.
