Manufactured in 1918. 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 "JMG" inspection mark on the left side. Fitted with a long smooth trigger, wide checkered hammer, short grip safety, smooth mainspring housing, checkered grips, "B" marked two-tone pinned base magazine, and a blued barrel with "P/H" on the hood and a "lazy S" on the left side of the lug.

Very fine, with 80% plus original blue finish, showing a brown and gray patina on the grip straps and atop the slide, bright edge wear and light spotting and handling marks. The grips are fine, with some dents and flat spots on the lower panels. Mechanically excellent.
