Manufactured in 1911. Blade front and notch rear sights with the standard two line Colt address/patent dates on top of barrel, "COLT D.A. 45" on the left side and the bottom marked "UNITED STATES PROPERTY". "K" marked cylinder latch, "F.B." inspection mark on the upper right side of the frame and "R.A.C." on the right rear. The Rampant Colt surrounded with the stylized "C" is marked on the left rear of the frame. The standard model and serial number markings are on the butt on both sides of the lanyard loop. Fitted with smooth oiled walnut grips stamped "R.A.C." on the bottom of both.

Very fine. The revolver retains 75% plus of the original blue finish with sharp edge wear and marks from use and handling. The finish is showing areas of spotting, pitting and flaking with the flaking being most prevalent on the left side of the barrel at the muzzle end. The cylinder shows light spotting with a visible drag line. The grips are very good with marks and a couple of dings from use and handling. Mechanically excellent.
