Manufactured in 1918 and subsequently arsenal refurbished. Blade front and flat-top "U" notch rear sights, two-line/two-block address and patent marking on left side of slide separated by the Rampant Colt, replacement "COLT 45 AUTO" marked barrel, U.S. property marking on left side of frame, model marking on left side of slide, "eagle head/S14" inspection mark behind the trigger, and "AA" Augusta Arsenal marking on the left side of the frame. Long smooth trigger, checkered slide catch, magazine catch, and thumb safety, checkered thin hammer, and smooth flat mainspring housing with lanyard loop. With mis-matched (Keyes and Nor Loc" checkered grips. Includes modern custom made military style box numbered to the gun.

Very fine as arsenal refurbished with 98% of the gray/green parkerized finish remaining, some light edge wear, slightly light markings, cycling marks, and some light surface pitting under the finish. The grips are very fine with some small dings, and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
