Manufactured in 1912. This pistol has the square butt, slide lock on the left side of the slide, lanyard swivel and eight-round capacity that distinguish it from the Colt Model 1902 "Sporting" pistol. Features rear slide serrations and a blue barrel. Left side of the slide is roll-stamped with the standard two-block two-line patent dates and Hartford address, with the uncircled Rampant Colt behind the serrations. Standard two-line caliber markings on the right side of the slide. The left side of the trigger guard bow is stamped with a "W" assembler's mark on the lower rear and the Colt "VP/triangle" proofmark on the front top. Fitted with checkered hard rubber grips with "COLT" in a banner at the top and the Rampant Colt in a circle in the center. Magazine absent.

Fine. 70% original blue finish remains with areas of edge wear, small surface scratches, traces of light pitting, and mottled gray patina on the grip straps. The grips are very good with well defined lettering and worn checkering and some small dings. Mechanically excellent.
