Manufactured in 1943, with a serial number attributed to Colt by R.L. Wilson. With fixed sights, "ITHACA GUN CO., INC./ITHACA, N.Y." on the left side of the slide, "P" ahead of the rear sight, the "FJA" inspection mark on the frame, which is also stamped with the crossed cannon Ordnance symbol on the right side next to the hammer pin and inside the dust cover. Equipped with a flat top rear sight, stamped short trigger, checkered thin hammer, slide catch, thumb safety and mainspring housing, long grip safety, reinforced Keyes Fiber grips, full blue magazine with "L" on the toe and a High Standard barrel. The slide stop appears to have suffered a machining error when the checkering was applied, with one of the top lines going off-course and cutting across 2/3rds of the body of the stop.
