Manufactured in 1943. Blade and flat top notch sights, with the "USS" monogram and "U.S. & S. Co./SWISSVALE, PA. U.S.A." on the left side of the slide, "P" stamps on the slide and frame, and a Robert Downie "RCD" inspected frame. Fitted with a wide checkered hammer, short stamped trigger, long grip safety, arched checkered mainspring housing, replaced thumb safety, checkered grips, Scovill magazine and a Flannery Bolt barrel.

Fine. 80% of the original dulite blue remains with areas of high point and edge wear, surface scratches, and handling marks overall. The grips are very good replacements with some light bruises and marring on the screw heads. Mechanically excellent.
