Produced in 1957, the introductory year for the National Match pistol. Partridge blade front sight and an adjustable rear sight, with standard markings, National Match barrel, solid bushing, wide adjustable skeletonized trigger, serrated slide catch, safety, hammer and flat mainspring housing, and a pair of checkered grips with gold medallions.

Excellent, with 99% of the original blue finish, showing bright wear along the high edges, a small amount of spotting on the right side, and scattered handling marks. A tiny amount of pitting is visible near the muzzle. Grips are excellent, with a thin ring of verdigris around the medallions and light pressure dents. Mechanically excellent.
