Manufactured in 1926, and outfitted with the "improved model" or "1911A1" configuration. Fixed sights, with the two line address and patent markings on the left side of the slide, the Colt, caliber, and Rampant Colt markings on the right, and the matching serial number on the back underneath the firing pin stop. The "GOVERNMENT MODEL" frame is marked "W/VP" and "51" on the trigger guard. Fitted with a flat top rear sight, wide checkered hammer, short milled trigger, long grip safety, checkered arched mainspring housing, replacement unmarked military two-tone pinned base magazine, and a replacement High Standard "HS" marked barrel.

Fine, with 70% of the original blue finish, showing a number of light scratches and dings, bright edge wear concentrated around the muzzle, scattered minor spotting and a few tiny areas of shallow pitting. The grips are very good, with a few light dents and stains. Mechanically excellent.
