The serial number, "382325" is located on the left side of the frame above the trigger. The trigger, grip safety and thumb safety are casehardened. The two toned magazine's floor plate is marked: "CAL.25/COLT' in two lines. Complete with the original box numbered to the gun, papers and a bore brush.

Excellent. The slide and frame retain 95% of the original blue finish with a few areas of thinning and light scratches scattered overall. The trigger, grip safety and thumb safety show virtually all of the original vivid case colors with only minor fading. The grips are excellent with only light handling marks. Mechanically excellent. The box is very good with two torn edges and the lid has come away from the body. The end label is excellent.
