Pre-War Colt Ace .22 Semi-Automatic Pistol

This is a very fine example of a Colt Ace automatic pistol that was manufactured in 1937. The pistol has the Colt high polish commercial blue finish, two-tone magazine and full checkered, oil-finished walnut grips. The barrel chamber is polished bright. The slide is fitted with a Stevens adjustable rear sight and second pattern front sight with serrated face. The mainspring housing is not fitted with a lanyard loop. The pistol has a two-tone magazine with polished floor plate roll-stamped "COLT/ACE/22LR" in three lines. The right side of the frame is stamped with the serial number, "7506" behind the slide stop hole and a Colt inspection number, "60" on the trigger guard bow. The left side of the trigger guard bow is stamped with an "X" assembler's mark above the Colt "Triangle/VP" proof mark. The right side of the slide is roll-stamped "COLT" followed by "ACE" surrounded by a diamond-shaped border and ".22 LONG/RIFLE". The left side of the slide is roll-stamped with the elongated Clt Hartford address above the 1897-1913 patent dates. The Rampant Colt trademark is roll-stamped behind the grip serrations on7 the left side of the slide

ConditionVery fine. The pistol retains 90% of the original high polish blue finish. There is some minor edge wear on the front of the slide and frame and several minor handling marks on the top and side of the slide. The blue finish on the grip strap is thin and shows handling wear. There is edge wear on the right side of the frame and lower edge of the grip safety. All of the markings are crisp. The walnut grips are also in very fine condition and show minimal wear. The magazine retains 95% or more of the two-tone finish. This is a good looking example of a pre-war Colt Ace .22 automatic pistol.
