Pre-War Colt Super 38 Semi-Automatic Pistol with Factory Letter and Box

This pistol was manufactured in 1931 with fixed sights, the two-line address and patent dates on the left side of the slide, the caliber markings on the right, matching serial number stamped around the firing pin hole, a short milled trigger, arched checkered mainspring housing, and checkered grips. The left side of the trigger guard is stamped "1/VP", and "60" is on the right. The included factory letter confirms that configuration (grips "Not Listed") and that it was one of three guns of this type in a shipment to Honeyman Hardward Company in Portland, Oregon, on March 24, 1931. It comes in a factory black box with Colt advertisements on the inside of the lid and bottom, a bore brush, and original Colt Automatic Pistol Super .38 and Super Match Models manual. The box appears to have never had any end labels or grease pencil marks.

ConditionVery fine as professionally restored with 99% of the blue finish, some light spotting on the hammer, and minor handling marks overall. The magazine is marked for a 45 ACP Government Model with "Kieth's" hand-marked on the base. The grips are fine with some minor chips around the upper screws and a few light dents on the checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is very fine with some slight storage type wear.
