Documented Pre-World War II Colt National Match Government Model Semi-Automatic Pistol with Factory Letter

According to the included factory letter, this pistol was part of a 35-piece shipment to the Kennedy Brothers of Minneapolis, Minnesota on February 26, 1934. Wide blade front and square notch flat top rear sights, with the two-line address and patent dates on the left side of the slide, the National Match nomenclature on the right and a matching serial number beneath the firing pin stop plate. The Government Model frame is marked "W/VP" on the left side of the trigger guard and "60" on the right, with a short milled trigger, wide checkered hammer, arched checkered mainspring housing and grips, unmarked two-tone magazine, and an "MB" marked barrel.

ConditionFine, with 75% of the original blue finish, showing some bright edge wear, handling marks and mild wear and spotting. The front strap has been touched up with cold blue. The replacement grips are very fine (hand numbered to a different pistol), with some minor dings and stains. Mechanically excellent.
