Description:

This experimental prototype falls 69 digits ahead of the factory prototype featured in our December 3, 2016 auction and has some of the same basic design elements but differs in many of the smaller component. It has a threaded and ported vent rib barrel with grooved sides, blade and adjustable notch target sights, target grips with "MAY 58" on the inside, "GX 4301" on the right side of the frame, and "COLT CAL. .22 L.R." on the magazine. The factory letter confirms this pistol is an experimental prototype and notes the putty on the grips is from "experimenting with contours."

Rating Definition:

Very fine with 95% plus original blue finish, a small patch of oxidation on top of the slide, and numerous mild marks and scratches throughout. The grips are poor with wood putty modifications that are factory. Mechanically excellent.
