Manufactured in 1941 with standard markings including the "HEAVY BARREL" marking below the model designation on the left side of the barrel and fitted with pinned blade front and notch rear sights. The included factory letter confirms the current configuration as well as shipment to the Commonwealth of Massachusetts State Quartermaster on 3 May 1941. Includes a correctly labeled Colt maroon box renumbered to the gun.

Excellent overall, retains 99% original blue finish with some scattered light handling marks, some light edge/high spot wear, and a faint cylinder drag line. The excellent grips have only the slightest handling marks, and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is very fine with some light handling/storage wear.
