Pre-War Colt Government Model Semi-Automatic Pistol

Manufactured in 1926. Fixed sights, with the two-line, one-block address and patent markings on the left side of the slide, and "COLT AUTOMATIC/CALIBRE .45" and the Rampant Colt on the right ahead of the ejection port. Matching numbers are present on the underside and beneath the firing pin stop. Marked "GOVERNMENT MODEL" above the serial number on the right side of the frame, with "1/VP" and "51" on the trigger guard. Wide checkered hammer, short milled trigger, long grip safety and arched checkered mainspring housing. Fitted with checkered grips, a full blue magazine, and a "S" marked barrel.

ConditionVery fine with 75% plus of the original blue finish showing bright wear along the high/leading edges, a brown patina on the grip straps, and mild spotting and handling marks overall. A few heavier dings are visible on the left side of the frame and the upper left of the slide. The grips are good with moderate to heavy wear, some dings and flat spots. Mechanically excellent.
