Manufactured in 1942 with standard markings as well as the rare and desirable "U.S. PROPERTY" marking on the right side of the frame and an "M" in front of the serial number. It is fitted with blade front and flat top notch rear sights, and checkered grips with Colt medallions. This pistols serial number falls between two identified General Officer's pistols, serial numbers 135483 and 135487. Provenance: The Gus Cargile Collection

Very fine, retains 85% plus of the original blue finish with a small area of touch-up on the left side of the slide, some scattered light spotting, and some light edge wear. The grips are also very fine with a few scattered minor blemishes in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
