Manufactured in 1943. Blade and flat top notch sights, the "USS" monogram and "U.S. & S. Co./SWISSVALE, PA. U.S.A." on the left side of the slide, a Robert Downie "RCD" inspected frame, a thin checkered hammer, short milled trigger, long grip safety, arched checkered mainspring housing, reinforced grips (Colt left, Keyes Fiber right), full blue unmarked magazine and a High Standard barrel.

Fine with 50% of the faded Du-Lite finish, a brown patina on the grip straps, mixed brown and gray on the slide, bright edge wear, a few dings on the underside of the frame, and scattered spotting and handling marks. The grips are very fine with a few dings and dents. Mechanically excellent.
