Early First Year Production Colt Super 38 Model Semi-Automatic Pistol with Low Three Digit Serial Number

This three digit serialized Colt Super 38 Automatic Pistol manufactured in 1929, the first year of production (and almost certainly in the first month). The left side of the slide is marked with the two line address/patent dates (1897 through 1913) and the right side is marked "COLT SUPER .38 / AUTOMATIC" followed by the Rampant Colt. The right side of the frame is marked with the serial number. The upper left front of the trigger guard bow is marked with the number "1" over the Colt triangle "VP" proof and the right side is marked with the assembly number "20". The barrel is correctly not marked. The slide serial number matches the gun. Fixed low profile sights, checkered slide stop, thumb safety, magazine release, hammer and arched mainspring housing, two tone ".38 AUTO / COLT" marked magazine and fitted with checkered walnut grips.

ConditionVery fine with 90% original finish remaining. The grip straps are thinning, and there is some wear, (mainly high edge), flaking and pin prick type pitting on the slide. The grips are very fine with some minor bruising and dings, and crisp checkering. All markings are crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent.
