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 Triangle adjustable rear sights, with a Colt "NM7791435" slide, "7267718/NM" bushing, and "NM 7791414" barrel (numbered to the frame), and a "FJA" (faint) frame with "S", "A", "SA", "T", and "NM" stamps. Equipped with a long serrated adjustable trigger, serrated narrow hammer, checkered front strap and serrated mainspring housing, and checkered grips. The magazine is absent. Includes a shipping box with added Springfield Armory marked label dated "6/53".

Very fine as upgraded to National Match specification, retains 98% plus of the arsenal parkerized finish with a few scattered light handling marks and a few spots of light wear. The grips are excellent with minimal handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is very good with some mild wear.
