Manufactured in 1934. Standard Colt markings, numbers removed from the grips and matching serial numbers on the frame, trigger guard and back strap. The first generation factory box lacks a serial number and has an end label listing 5 1/2 inch barrel.

Fine, retaining 70% original blue finish and 30% original case colors with smooth gray patina on the balance. The replacement grips are good with a sizeable chip (right panel), chipping along the high edges, dings on the bottoms and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent. The replacement first generation box is good with moderate wear and some missing cardboard from a lid side.
