This is a very nice example of a Colt Super .38 that was manufactured in 1929, the first year of production. The serial number is located on the right side of the frame behind the slide release lever hole. The upper left front of the trigger guard bow is stamped with the "1" above the Colt "VP/Triangle" proofmark and the opposite is marked with the number "20". The right side of the slide is marked "COLT SUPER .38/AUTOMATIC" followed by the Rampant Colt. The left side of the slide is marked with the two line elongated Hartford address and 1897-1913 patent dates. The pistol has the Colt high polish commercial blue finish, blue barrel with the top of the chamber polished and is fitted with checkered walnut grips. Two tone magazine marked "38 AUTO/COLT" on the bottom, checkered arched mainspring, long grip safety and a finger groove on the frame. There is a half-moon front sight and a square notch dovetail rear sight. The pistol is fitted with checkered walnut grips. Complete with a 22 LR conversion kit which in includes the slide, barrel, floating chamber, bushing, recoil spring, ejector, magazine and slide stop. Includes the correct box with and instructions.

Very fine. The pistol retains 90% plus original blue finish with some high edge wear, a small amount of minor spotting on the slide and grip safety and some thinning on the front strap. The replacement grips are excellent with only light handling marks and sharp checkering. The markings are crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent. The conversion kit is also excellent with 99% original blue finish on the slide showing some very slight edge wear and some light scratches.
