Elevation adjustable front blade and windage adjustable rear sights, serrated trigger, checkered oval panel on the back strap, two tone Colt marked magazine and fitted with checkered walnut grips.

In addition to the standard end labels there is a label on top of the lid which reads "fitted with New Main Spring Housing - adapting/this arm for use with all standard .22 Long Rifle/High Speed or High Velocity cartridges."

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The pistol retains 98% original blue finish with some mild muzzle and high edge wear, and overall some minor dings and handling marks. The grips are also excellent with a small area of moderate wear on the upper right panel and overall some mild wear on the otherwise very crisp checkering. The markings remain clear and crisp. The action is excellent. The box is about good with some minor crushing of the lid, three separated corners on the lid and some heavy edge wear on the lid.
