This is an exceptional early Colt Ace that was manufactured in 1931. Blade front and adjustable notch rear sights, with the left side of the slide marked with the two-line address and patent markings next to the Rampant Colt, and the right side marked "COLT <ACE> .22 LONG/ RIFLE". The trigger guard is marked "3/VP" on the left and "20" on the right. Checkered trigger, wide hammer, and arched mainspring housing, with a long grip safety, and checkered grips.

Very fine. 90% plus original blue finish remains with some small handling marks and a slightly gray patina appearing on the front grip strap. The grips are fine with moderately worn checkering overall and a few small dings. Mechanically excellent.
