Manufactured in 1944. 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 slide and a "G.H.D." inspected frame with "K/VP" on the trigger guard. Fitted with a thin checkered hammer, stamped trigger, long grip safety, arched serrated mainspring housing, reinforced Colt grips, full blue "S"/"C-S" magazine, and a replacement High Standard barrel. With a brown leather Boyt holster.

Very fine, with 85% of the original parkerized finish, showing bright wear along the high edges, hints of a brown patina on the grip straps, a few takedown lines and mild handling marks. The grips are also very fine, with a few light dings. The barrel has turned a mixed gray, and the throat has been polished and widened. The holster is good, with some cracking and stains. Mechanically excellent.
