This example was manufactured in 1922 and includes the original box. The slide has the standard fixed sights with the rounded rear and half moon front, and is marked on the left side with the two-line Colt address and patent markings with the Rampant Colt behind the serrations, and on the right side "COLT AUTOMATIC/CALIBRE .380 HAMMERLESS". The trigger guard bow is marked on the left side with the Colt "triangle/VP" proof under the number "1", and on the opposite side with the number "48". The pistol is fitted with the original hard rubber grips having the Colt banner at the tops and uncircled Rampant Colts at the bottoms. It has the original two-tone finish magazine marked on the base "CAL.380/COLT". Includes the Colt maroon box numbered to the gun, bearing the blue lettered white label "HAMMERLESS" over the white lettered blue label "Colt Automatic Pistol./RIMLESS. SMOKELESS. .380" on one end, with the original labels on the inside lid and box bottom intact, along with an original instruction sheet. The white background on the lid label is wearing away with the letters intact.

Excellent 98% plus original finish showing some light handling scratches and very minor sharp edge wear on the forward of the slide, with crisp original markings. The grips are excellent with well defined detail and checkering. The box is intact and very good with some minor glue repair to one or two corners of the lid and some edge wear.
