Manufactured in 1944. Blade front and flat top notch rear sights, standard two-line Ithaca legend on the left side of the slide, "FJA" inspected frame, "RIA" Rock Island Arsenal inspection mark stamped on right side of frame, short checkered milled trigger, serrated thumb safety, wide checkered hammer, long grip safety, arched serrated mainspring housing with lanyard loop, "HS" marked, blue High Standard barrel, full blue "R" marked magazine, and reinforced Keye's grips. With original DCM shipping box numbered to the gun, listing the pistol as shipped from Red River Army Depot.

Very fine as arsenal refurbished with 95% of the post-war gray parkerized finish remaining, areas of edge wear, surface scratches, and nicks. The grips are very good with numerous dings and dents, some smoothed checkering, and abrasions. Mechanically excellent. Box is fine with some discoloration, corner and edge wear, and clearly legible labels.
