Manufactured in 1943. Blade and flat top notch sights, the "USS" monogram and "U.S. & S. Co./SWISSVALE, PA. U.S.A." on the left side of the slide, with a Robert Downie "R.C.D." inspected frame, thin checkered hammer, short stamped trigger, long grip safety, arched checkered mainspring housing, reinforced Keyes Fiber grips, full blue "G" marked magazine and "HS" marked High Standard barrel. An unmarked reproduction brown cardboard "kraft" box is included.

Very fine, with 75% of the thin original finish, showing areas of brown patina, bright edge wear, scattered spotting and mild handling marks. The front area of the slide shows a rough texture beneath the finish. The grips are good replacements, with some dents and flat spots. The reproduction box is very good, with mild wear. Mechanically excellent.
