Manufactured in 1930. Fixed sights, the two-line Colt address and patent dates on the left side of the slide ahead of the Rampant Colt, the caliber markings on the right, and the trigger guard marked "51" on the right and "1/VP" on the left. Finish is full blue, with a pair of checkered Colt medallion grips and a two-tone "CAL.380/COLT" magazine. A hand-numbered matching Colt "black box" is included, with black/white "HAMMERLESS" and white/blue "380" end labels, proper internal labels, instruction sheet and an unmarked full blue extra magazine.

Excellent, with 90% plus original blue finish, showing scuffs on the front strap and on the slide around the muzzle and at the rear, minor spotting concentrated on the grip safety, bright wear on the high edges and the sides of the trigger, and mild handling marks overall. The grips are very fine, with some flat spots on the right panel and minor dings overall. The box is very good, with some water spotting, split seams, and general evidence of wear and use. Mechanically excellent.
