Custom Engraved Pre-War Colt Government Model National Match

Shipped to Los Angeles on December 9, 1939, and subsequently engraved and nickel finished. Fixed sights, with the standard two line address on the left side of the slide, National Match markings on the right, and standard frame markings. The slide and the sides of the frame show near-total coverage of punch-dot backed scrollwork, and a gold wash on the bushing, spring plug, slide catch, hammer, trigger, thumb safety and magazine release.

ConditionNear mint as custom embellished, with 98% of the low polish nickel remaining, some light spotting and handling marks. Approximately 90% of the gold plating remains, showing some gentle flaking and wear. Grips are excellent, with sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
