Equipped with a Springfield barrel, checkered thin hammer, milled trigger, long grip safety and checkered arched mainspring housing. Grips are early style Keyes Fiber with internal ribbing. On either side of the slide near the muzzle is a small dent, which the consignor states is the result of Rockwell hardness tests.
