Manufactured late in 1918. Fixed sights, the two-line, two-block Colt patents and address on the left side of the slide, the Rampant Colt between the blocks and "H" above the slide stop. The left side of the frame is marked "eagle head/S8", with "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" over the serial number on the right side. Fitted with a long smooth trigger, checkered wide hammer, flat top rear sight, short grip safety, checkered slide catch and thumb safety, smooth flat mainspring housing, checkered diamond flat walnut grips, unmarked pinned base magazine and a conjoined "HP" marked barrel.

Very fine with 70% plus of the original blue "black" finish showing a brown patina in the slide serrations, gray on the grip straps and high edges, light takedown marks below the slide stop and scattered handling marks. Grips are fine with some dings and dark spots. Mechanically excellent.
