Description:

Manufactured in 1939. Blade front and frame notch rear sights, standard markings on the barrel, "Rampant Colt" on the side plate, and a small "flaming bomb" ordnance stamp on the left side of the frame above the cylinder latch. With checkered medallion grips and "20" on the butt in white paint.

Rating Definition:

Very fine. 85% original blue finish remains with areas of light edge wear, surface scratches, some traces of light spotting, cylinder drag line, and the cylinder and small parts having a mostly plum/brown patina. The grips are good with heavily worn checkering, small dings throughout, and a small chip absent the left panel. Mechanically excellent.
