Description:

Manufactured in 1929, the first year of full production. The left side of the matching number 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, the left of the trigger guard is marked "1" over "VP", and the right of the trigger guard is marked "99". 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. Includes Seahorse hard case.

Rating Definition:

Fine, retains 80% of the original blue finish with the balance having mostly thinned to a smooth grey patina, primarily on edges, and a patch of dark pitting on the front grip strap. The grips are also very fine with a few light blemishes in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
