Description:

Manufactured in 1929, the first year of production. These Super .38 pistols were first shown to the public at the August 1928 Camp Perry National Matches, and were available for purchase by the start of 1929. The left side of the matching numbered slide is marked with the two-line address and patent dates while the right side bears the caliber marking along with the Rampant Colt. The serial number is on the right of the frame and the left of the trigger guard is marked "1" over "VP". Fitted with blade and notch rear sights, wide checkered hammer, long grip safety, arched checkered mainspring housing, checkered grips, and a two-tone .38 Super Auto magazine.

Rating Definition:

Fine, retains 80% of the original blue finish with the balance generally showing light signs of being holstered, these being; light edge wear that is more concentrated at the front of the slide, a series of light dings on the top rear edge of the slide, numerous light scratches on the front strap, and mild wear on the mainspring housing. The moderately worn grips are very good showing some mild wear and otherwise well-defined checkering. Mechanically excellent.
