Manufactured in 1911. Blade and notch sights, with the two line address and patent dates on the left side of the slide, the Rampant Colt behind the serrations, and "COLT AUTOMATIC / CALIBRE 25" under the ejection port on the right side. The serial number is marked on the left side of the frame with the "VP" proof on the left upper front of the trigger guard bow and "5" on the lower left side. Blue finish including unmarked magazine and casehardened trigger, thumb and grip safeties. Fitted with smooth factory pearl grips. Complete with a factory original black hinged lid box with manual.

Excellent. The pistol retains 97% plus of the original blue finish with smooth wear on the muzzle end of the slide and on the high edges. The trigger retains most of the original bright case colors, the thumb safety most of the faded original case colors and the grip safety has faded to a smooth gray patina with some original case colors in the protected area. The grips are also excellent with a few light scratches and scuffs. The markings retain clear. Mechanically excellent. The box is fine with some of the paper absent on the bottom and corner wear.
