This is an excellent Colt Super .38 pistol that was manufactured in 1950. The sides of the slide and frame have a high-polish blue finish and the grip straps and top and bottom of the slide and frame have a matte finish. The pistol has a serrated arched main spring housing, hammer, trigger, thumb safety and slide stop. The left side of the slide is marked "COLT" followed by "SUPER .38 / AUTOMATIC" followed by the Rampant Colt. The opposite side of the slide bears the one line Hartford address. The Colt "VP" verified proofmark and the letter "Q" restamped on the left side of the trigger guard bow; the inspector's mark "71" is stamped on the opposite side of the trigger guard. The barrel chamber is marked "COLT SUPER .38 AUTO". Two-tone magazine marked: "Colt" followed by "SUPER / 38 AUTO" on the floor plate. Fitted with smooth ivory grips.

Excellent. The pistol retains 98% plus original finish with some light spotting along the edges of the slide, some minor wear on the muzzle end of the slide and a few minor scratches. The magazine has been chemically cleaned and shows minor overall pitting. The grips have a very attractive grain and only light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
