Manufactured in 1942. Fixed blade and notch sights, correct matching "P" proofs on the matching serialized slide and frame, standard inspection marks and Colt "VP" proof on the trigger guard with the boxed "W.B." inspection mark on the left side of the frame. Wide knurled hammer, short milled trigger, long grip safety, arched checkered mainspring housing, "C-S" and "S" marked full blue magazine, Colt grips (hollow backs, reinforced screw escutcheons) and a "COLT 45 AUTO" marked barrel with a small "G" ahead of the lug.

Excellent, with 97% plus parkerized finish, showing some light edge wear and handling marks overall. The grips are also excellent, with a few minor dings. Mechanically excellent.
