Manufactured in 1953 and subsequently custom embellished overall. Serrated replacement flat blade front and fixed notch rear sights, standard slide markings, serrated short trigger, checkered thin spur hammer, and arched serrated mainspring housing. The slide and frame feature near full coverage floral and scroll engraving on a contrasting punch dot background. With smooth pearl grips.

Very fine as professionally custom embellished with sharp, detailed, deep-cut engraving, 98% of the custom blue finish, and small handling marks. The grips are good with chipping on both panels (more damaged on the right than the left). Mechanically excellent.
