Manufactured in 1943. Blade front and flat top rear sights, with the two-line, two-block markings divided by the Rampant Colt on the left side of the frame, a matching serial number stamped beneath the firing pin stop, and a "G.H.D." inspected frame with "8/VP" on the trigger guard. Fitted with a wide checkered hammer, short milled trigger, long grip safety, arched checkered mainspring housing, unribbed Colt grips, full blue "L" magazine, and a "COLT 45 AUTO" barrel.

Excellent, with 97% plus of the original parkerized finish, showing some bright edge and cycling wear, along with a few light handling marks overall. The grips are also excellent, with a few dents. Mechanically excellent.
