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, checkered slide catch and thumb safety, arched mainspring housing, replacement Keyes-Fiber grips, and a High Standard barrel.

Very fine, with 85% of the original Du-Lite finish, showing areas of gray patina, bright edge wear, some dings on the underside of the slide, and scattered handling marks. The front sight has been polished down slightly, with a dent on the upper left side. The grips are excellent, with crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
