Manufactured in 1943. Rampant Colt flanked by the two line patent dates and address on left side of slide and U.S. property and model marking with serial number and ordnance cartouche on right side of frame. Left side of frame marked with "GHD" inspector initials and letter "P", with "K" and triangle proof on trigger guard. Fitted with checkered ribbed grips. With a U.S. 1943 dated Graton & Knight holster and U.S. web belt with double magazine pouch.

Very fine. The pistol retains 95% of the faded parkerized finish with minor slide and edge wear with extensive pin point pitting on the front strap under the finish. The grips have crisp checkering. Holster is very fine with minor handling marks. The belt and pouch are excellent.
