1 of 299 manufactured in 1955. Standard markings and features with original box and test target with a "3" over the number "5" in the number "173".

Excellent, retains 97% plus original blue finish with a few light handling marks, some scattered minor edge wear, and a cylinder drag line. The modified, slightly undersize replacement grips are very good with the front edge of the butt filed at a 90 degree angle and reoiled, a few minor dings in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is fine with widespread wear and some corner/edge separation.
