Excellent Pre-World War II Colt Super Match .38 Semi-Automatic Pistol

Manufactured in 1934, these Super .38 pistols were first shown to the public at the August 1928 Camp Perry National Matches and were available for purchase by the start of 1929. The left side of the 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, and the left of the trigger guard is marked "T" over "VP". The pistol is fitted with the desirable Swartz safety mechanism, which is complete and functional. Fitted with blade and notch rear sights, wide checkered hammer, long grip safety, arched checkered mainspring housing, checkered grips, and a full blue .38 Super Auto magazine.

ConditionExcellent, retains 95% plus of the original high polish blue finish with a series of moderate takedown type scratches on the left side of the slide and frame, some scattered light handling marks, and a few scattered small patches of oxidation near the rear of the slide/hammer. The grips are also very fine with a few scattered minor blemishes in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
