Manufactured in 1922. Fixed sights with the two-line, two-block address and patents on the left side of the slide ahead of the Rampant Colt and caliber marking on the right, and the trigger guard is marked "1/VP" and "48". Casehardened hammer, Colt royal blue small parts, checkered grips with Colt banners and the Rampant Colt, and a full blue magazine marked "CAL. 38/COLT" on the pinned base. With a tooled leather flap holster.

Excellent. 97% plus original blue finish remains with traces of edge wear, some light spotting and handling marks mostly in the grip straps. 90% of the original case colors remain on the hammer. Grips are also excellent with sharp checkering and a few small dings. Mechanically excellent. Holster is fair with some loose stitching, scuffs, and tears.
