Manufactured in 1918. The left side of the slide is marked in two line blocks "PATENTED APR. 20,1897 SEPT. 9, 1902 / DEC. 19, 1905, FEB.14, 1911, AUG. 19,1913" and "COLT'S PT. F. A. MFG.

Blue barrel marked with intertwined "HP" and magazine marked "19200 / ASSY 5508694 / MFR. 1M291" on the floor plate, and fitted with diamond pattern checkered walnut grips.

Very good. The pistol retains approximately 97% of a post WWI arsenal dipped blue finish with some high edge wear and minor scratches. The markings are clear and sharp and have not been polished. The grips have been refinished and the checkering re-cut and remain very good. The markings remain clear. The mechanics are very good.
