Rare pistol as manufactured in kit form by Colt Firearms for the Gil Hebard Company. These "Kit" pistols were introduced in 1964 and produced through 1970 in two calibers (.38 Special and .45 ACP). The concept was for Colt to be able to produce a Target Grade pistol fully finished but "Unassembled" and without sights, thus saving the costs of final assembly and testing. Of the ".38 Special Kit" guns, approximately 450 total were produced by Colt. Triangle HEG adjustable rear sight, high profile fixed front sight, with the areas on the slide where the sights were mounted slightly filed flat and a "3" stamped on top of the slide in front of the rear sight. The frame is a Super 38 Model serial numbered "191262" manufactured in 1969. Fitted with checkered walnut grips with gold Colt medallions. It has one "Colt" marked .38 Special magazine.

Excellent 95% original finish with some touched up finish on top of the slide in the areas where the sights have been installed, showing scattered minor handling scratches and some sharp edge wear and two small areas of spotting on the back grip strap, with crisp original markings. The grips are excellent showing very minor handling with sharp checkering.
