Manufactured in 1943. Fixed sights, with the two-line, two-block address divided by the Rampant Colt on the left side of the matching numbered slide, "W.B.", "P" and "M/VP" on the left side of the frame and the property/nomenclature markings on the right. The pistol is fitted with a flat-top rear sight, short milled trigger, wide checkered hammer, long grip safety, replacement checkered slide stop and thumb safety, arched checkered mainspring housing, reinforced Colt grips, Colt commercial full blue magazine and a "COLT 45 AUTO" marked barrel with "G" on the underside ahead of the lug. With a brown leather Boyt shoulder holster.

Very fine, with 80% plus original parkerized finish, showing a brown patina on the grip straps, bright high edge wear, and mild handling marks. The grips are fine, with a few dings and flat spots. The holster is fair, with cracking and scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
