Manufactured in 1943. Fixed sights, with the left side of the slide marked with the intertwined "USS" company logo and "U.S. & S. CO./SWISSVALE, PA. U.S.A." LTC Robert Downie's "RCD" proof is on the left side of the frame, with a thin checkered hammer, stamped trigger, serrated slide catch, checkered thumb safety, arched mainspring housing, Keyes-Fiber grips, and a High Standard barrel.

Very fine as professionally restored with 95% of the nearly black dulite finish, showing some bright edge wear and mild handling marks. The grips are excellent, with crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
