Manufactured in 1920. Fixed sights with the two-line address and patent markings on the left side of the slide, and "COLT AUTOMATIC/CALIBRE .45" and the Rampant Colt on the right ahead of the ejection port. Marked "GOVERNMENT MODEL" above the serial number on the right side of the frame, with "W/VP" and "82" on the trigger guard. Later production replacement wide checkered hammer, short milled trigger, long grip safety and a later production replacement arched checkered mainspring housing. Fitted with checkered grips, two commercially marked two-tone magazines, and later blued barrel marked "P" on the underside.

Very fine as assembled (see above) with 95% of the original blue finish, showing some scattered scratches, dents and handling marks, along with a thin takedown line on the frame and some light edge wear. The grips are very fine, with some dents and dark spots. Mechanically excellent.
