This is an excellent original example of a post-war commercial Government Model manufactured in early 1947. The left side of the slide is marked with the one-line address and the caliber designation is on the right side followed by the Rampant Colt. The right side of the frame is marked "GOVERNMENT MODEL" over the "C" prefix serial number. With standard fixed front and rear sights, checkered spur style hammer, serrated trigger, smooth front strap, serrated arched mainspring housing and fitted with checkered brown plastic grips with the large reinforcing ring for the screw holes.

Excellent overall. 98% plus original polished Colt commercial blue finish remains with very minor scattered handling marks and some spotting on the magazine release and the mainspring housing. Grips are excellent with crisp checkering and minimal handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
