Manufactured in 1934. Blade front and adjustable notch rear sights, the two-line address and patent dates on the left side of the slide, the Rampant Colt ahead of the serrations, and the Colt Ace logo and caliber markings on the right. The frame is marked "12" on the right side of the trigger guard, "3/VP" on the left and fitted with a short checkered trigger, wide checkered hammer, checkered arched mainspring housing, a set of fully checkered grips, and a two-tone magazine with Colt Ace marked base. Includes the original box and an extra later production replacement magazine

Excellent, retains 98% plus of the original high polish blue finish with some scattered very light handling marks, scratches on the bottom of the forward slide, and edge wear. The grips are also excellent with only the slightest handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is fair with tape repaired edges and otherwise mild wear.
