Manufactured in 1911. Fixed sights, with the standard Colt address, caliber and patent markings on the barrel and the "C" backed Rampant Colt trademark on the left side of the frame. The underside of the barrel has the "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" and "R.A.C." (Rinaldo Carr) stamps, "WGP" (Penfield) and "R.A.C." on the right side of the frame, and "U.S./ARMY/MODEL/1909" on the butt ahead of the lanyard swivel. The hammer and the top and back of the hammer are finished in a fine nitre blue, and a set of smooth Carr-inspected grips are installed.

Excellent with 90% plus of the bright original high polish blue finish, showing areas of brown patina in the grip straps with scattered spotting, a few light scratches, and bright edge wear. 75% of the bright original niter blue is present on the trigger and hammer with mild spotting and wear. The grips are also excellent with a few light dings. Mechanically excellent.
