Description:

Originally produced by Colt in 1943, this pistol was later rebuilt at Rock Island Arsenal, probably for/after Korea. Later it was upgraded to a National Match pistol (non-GI) using surplus GI parts. It has a Colt slide marked "NM7791435" on the left side, with the one-line address on the right. The slide is fitted with a national match style front sight blade, along with an adjustable target rear sight marked "U.S. and Triangle Mfg." on the sides. It is fitted with a national match barrel and bushing set that are marked "NM 7791414" and "7267718/N M" respectivley. The frame has the original "GHD" inspection proof along with the "RIA" and "FK" rebuild marks. It was also later restamped with the "SA and NM" proofs. When it was upgraded it was fitted with a long serrated aluminum trigger that is adjustable for overtravel. The front grip strap was also nicely checkered. It has the standard GI parts and is fitted with a set checkered walnut grips. It is complete with a two-tone magazine marked "L" on the toe.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as assembled and refurbished with 99% of the current parkerized finish. It shows minor cycling wear on the barrel and light handling marks overall. The grips are excellent, with sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
