Manufactured in 1912. This example features a high polished blue finish with a short slide cut, early fully blued barrel, two-line Hartford address and patent markings on the right side of the slide, serrifed Colt "VP" proof on the left trigger guard bow and the second style caliber markings on the right side of the slide. The trigger and grip safety are casehardened with nitre blue on the magazine retaining clip at the heel. Fitted with round top, smooth mother of pearl grips with the correct black hardboard spacers or "shoes" screwed onto the backs.

ConditionVery fine as partially refinished (frame) with 95% plus blue finish. With some scattered light surface scratches, dings on the slide near the muzzle, scattered light edge wear, general handling marks in the grip area and the serial number is buffed light and partially filled with blue. The casehardened trigger has aged to a mostly gray patina with some brown spotting. The grips are fine as repaired, the right panel has a small area of glue at the screw escutcheon.
