Originally produced by Colt in 1943, this pistol was subsequently selected for upgrade to a National Match competition-grade pistol. Serrated Patridge blade front sight and Kensight adjustable rear sight, with a Colt "NM7791435" slide, "7267718/NM" bushing, and "NM 7791414" barrel (numbered to the frame), and a "FJA" frame with "e", "P", "SA", "RIA", and "NM" stamps. Equipped with a long serrated adjustable trigger, checkered narrow hammer, checkered front strap and serrated mainspring housing, checkered grips and a full blue "C-S" magazine hand numbered "8420" (scored out number on the opposite side).

Very fine as arsenal upgraded to National Match configuration, retains 97% plus parkerized finish with some scattered light discoloration/spotting on the slide, some light edge/high spot wear, and some scattered light handling marks. The grips are very fine with a few scattered light blemishes in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
