Manufactured in 1920. Fixed sights, with the two-line, two-block address and patents on the left side of the slide ahead of the serrations with the Rampant Colt behind, caliber marking on the right, and a matching serial number on the underside, and the trigger guard is marked "1/VP" and "48". Fitted with a casehardened hammer, Colt royal blue small parts, checkered hard rubber grips with Colt banners and Rampant Colts, and a full blue magazine marked "CAL. 38/COLT" on the pinned base.

Very fine. 85% plus original blue finish remains with small areas of edge wear, handling marks, scattered dings and some traces of light spotting. The grips are fine with replaced screw bolsters in the left panel, clear markings, and some small handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
