Manufactured in 1911 on contract for the U.S. Army. Fixed sights, with the standard Colt address, caliber and patent markings on the barrel and the "C" backed Rampant Colt trademark on the left side of the frame. The underside of the barrel has the "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" and "R.A.C." (Rinaldo Carr) stamps, "F.B." and "R.A.C." on the right side of the frame, "R.A.C." on the rear cylinder face, and "U.S./ARMY/MODEL/1909/No/33/354" on the butt around the lanyard swivel. The trigger and the top and back of the hammer are finished in a fine nitre blue, and a set of smooth "MCRR/10" marked grips are installed (no history on the aforementioned marking). The grips are also marked "R.A.C." on the bottom of each panel.

Very fine, retaining 75% plus bright original high polish blue finish with a grey patina on the balance, handling marks, cylinder drag line, and some spots of light corrosion. The trigger and hammer retain 70% of the original nitre blue. The grips are fine with dings and scratches, high edge wear, and crisp lettering. Mechanically excellent.
