Manufactured in 1911 on government contract. Fixed sights with the standard one line caliber marking on the left, the two line, three date patent markings on the top, and "UNITED STATES PROPERTY", "P", and "R.A.C." on the underside. The frame is marked with the Rampant Colt and long "C" and is equipped with a checkered hammer, smooth trigger, "K" marked square cylinder latch, and checkered ejector rod head, along with "R.A.C." and "F.B." on the right side. Smooth walnut grips with "R.A.C." markings on the bases, a lanyard ring and "U.S./ ARMY/ MODEL/ 1909/ No/ 36/ 379" on the butt.

Very fine, with 90% of the original blue finish, showing patches of mixed brown and gray patina on the grip straps, sides of the barrel and cylinder, bright edge wear and scattered spotting and handling marks. 80% of the original niter blue colors remain, with fading on the trigger and vivid color on the hammer. Grips are fine, with some dings around the butt and light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
