Manufactured in 1912. Blade front and flat top notch rear sights, the two-line/two-block address and patent dates on the left side of the slide ahead of the Rampant Colt, the Army nomenclature on the reverse, and a "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" marked frame with "WGP" (Penfield) inspection mark on the left side. Fitted with a long smooth trigger, wide checkered hammer, short grip safety, smooth mainspring housing, later replacement rear sight, checkered grips, an unmarked two-tone pinned base magazine with correct early pattern "keyhole" cut in the spine, and a modified blued barrel (hood polished) with "H" inspection mark on top rear face.

Fine, with 70% of the original blue finish, showing areas of brown and gray patina, scattered minor pitting and spotting, bright edge wear and mild handling marks. The barrel shows signs of reshaping and polishing on and around the lug, and the metal is rough around the front sight. The grips are good, with some dings and scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
