Manufactured in 1914. This pistol has the square butt, slide lock on the left side of the slide, lanyard swivel and eight-round magazine that distinguish it from the Colt Model 1902 "Sporting" pistol. Features rear slide serrations, blue barrel and unmarked blue magazine. Left side of the slide is roll stamped with the standard two block two line patent dates and Hartford address, with the Rampant Colt behind the serrations. Standard two line caliber markings on the right side of the slide. The left side of the trigger guard bow is stamped with a "6" assembler's mark on the lower rear and the Colt "VP/triangle" proofmark on the front top. Fitted with checkered hard rubber grips with "COLT" in a banner at the top and the Rampant Colt in a circle in the center.

Very fine. The pistol retains 85% plus of the bright original high polish blue finish with wear on the muzzle end of the slide and frame, high edge wear, and overall minor thinning. There are areas of smooth gray on the grip straps and some minor light spotting on the slide. The upper left side of the trigger guard has a number of scratches into the metal and there are a few scratches on the right side of the frame. The trigger retains most of the bright fire blue finish and the hammer retains about 50% of the original case colors. The grips have faded to brown and remain excellent with a couple of minor dings and crisp checkering. The markings are crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent.
