Waldemar Broberg, "W.B." in a box below the slide stop and a "P" proof mark is stamped behind the magazine release. The left side of the slide is roll-stamped with the Colt 1897-1913 patent dates in a two-line block, the Rampant Colt trademark and "COLT'S PT.F.A. MFG. CO./HARTFORD, CT. U.S.A." in two lines.
