Manufactured in 1917. The slide has the two-line/two-block address and patent dates on the left side ahead of the Rampant Colt, and the caliber marking on the right. The frame is marked "VP" and "V" on the trigger guard, with a flat top rear sight, checkered slide stop, wide hammer, long smooth trigger, short grip safety, smooth flat mainspring housing, checkered grips with diamond flats, correct unmarked two-tone loop base magazine with lanyard loop and "P/O" correct barrel.

Excellent. 95% plus bright original blue finish remains with some light edge wear, scattered surface scratches around the top of the frame under the slightly bent slide stop, and traces of light spotting on the grip straps. The grips are also excellent with well-defined checkering and some small dings. Mechanically excellent.
