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 thin checkered hammer, short stamped trigger, long grip safety, arched checkered mainspring housing, reinforced Keyes Fiber grips, General Shaver magazine, and a High Standard barrel.

Very fine. 80% plus original, slightly faded dulite blue finish remains with moderate edge wear, takedown marks on the left side of the frame, light surface scratches, and handling marks overall. The grips are also very fine with some light edge wear and scratches. The screw bolsters are stripped on the right side and will come out with the screws when the grip panel is removed. Mechanically excellent.
