Produced in 1903. Blade and notch sights with the two-date patent/Hartford address markings and Rampant Colt on the left side behind the later production factory replacement slide serrations and "AUTOMATIC COLT/ CALIBRE 38 RIMLESS SMOKELESS" on the reverse. Checkered round spur casehardened hammer and blue trigger, "COLT" banners and Rampant Colt imprints on the checkered grips, and "CAL. 38/COLT" on the full blue magazine. "K" factory stamp present on right side of forward trigger guard.

Very good as factory refurbished/refinished. 80% of the blue finish remains showing bright wear along the high edges, a mixed gray and brown on the grip straps, mild spotting and light handling marks. Grips are very good with some verdigris buildup around the top left screw escutcheon and mild dings. Mechanically excellent.
