Originally produced by Colt in 1945, this pistol was subsequently selected for upgrade to a National Match competition-grade pistol. Serrated Patridge blade front sight and "US" marked Elliason adjustable rear sights, with a Colt "NM7791435" slide, "7267718/NM" bushing, and "NM 7791414" barrel (numbered to the frame), and an "FJA" frame with "SA", "RIA", "T", "P", and "NM" stamps. Equipped with a long serrated adjustable trigger, serrated narrow hammer, checkered front strap and mainspring housing, checkered grips and a full blue "G" magazine. Provenance: The Gus Cargile Collection

Very fine as upgraded to National Match configuration, retains 98% plus of the parkerized finish with only the slightest handling marks and wear. The grips are excellent with a few scattered light blemishes and otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
