Manufactured 1915-1919 on order for the British Government, with a set of crossed pennant and broad arrow military stamps along with the standard commercial markings. Fixed sights, with a long smooth trigger, wide checkered hammer, short grip safety, checkered grips, "CALIBRE 455" marked slide, a two-tone magazine with "CAL 455/ELEY" marked lanyard base, and a set of London "V", "GP" and "NP" proofs on the chamber hood. The left side of the frame is marked with a broad arrow, crossed pennants, and a "crown/D6/F" proof.

Very fine, with 80% plus of the original blue finish, showing a number of light dings and dents overall, along with some bright edge wear, areas of brown and gray patina, and minor spotting. The grips are very fine, with some mild dings. Mechanically excellent.
