Manufactured in 1939. Elevation adjustable Patridge blade front and fully adjustable rear notch sights, standard markings and correct early style one-piece checkered "elephant ear" grip with silver Colt medallions. Comes with screwdriver, bore brush, matching test target, instructions and original box featuring a Robert Petersen collection label on the bottom.

Excellent plus, retaining 99% original blue finish showing a series of tiny dings near the muzzle (left side) and a series of light scratches on the back strap. The grip is very good with a crack near the front screw, otherwise minimal handling evidence and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent. The box is good with non-factory label on top, split lid corners and moderate wear. Nearly all of the end labels remain. Provenance: Robert E. Petersen Collection
