Manufactured in 1943. An included War Department Shipping Document indicates that this pistol was sold from inventory at Augusta Arsenal in November of 1946 to Colonel David E. Barnett, an Infantry officer stationed at Fort Bragg. It has fixed sights, the "U.S. PROPERTY" mark on the right side of the frame, parkerized finish, and a pair of checkered Colt medallion grips. Included with the pistol is a brown cardboard "Kraft" box (with a struck-out number a mere 4 off from this pistol), a Colt instruction sheet, and a larger "Protecta-Gun" brand brown cardboard box.
