Manufactured in 1943, the left side of the slide is marked with the standard two-line Remington-Rand address and a "P" on top. The left side of the frame has the "FJA" inspection mark (partially faint), "P" below the magazine release, and "1" on the trigger guard. The standard U.S. property, serial number, and model designation are marked on the right side, along with "SA" (Springfield Armory) below the model marking. The full blue barrel is marked "HS" and "P" on the lug. It is fitted with blade and notch sights, serrated slide release, checkered thumb safety and narrow hammer, short stamped trigger, serrated mainspring housing, checkered Keyes Fibre grips, and an "L" marked full-blue magazine. Includes a leather magazine pouch, two extra magazines, an Ordnance Department bill of sale dated January 4th, 1962 as sold to an individual, and a Kraft style box with ordnance style markings.

Exceptionally fine, retains 99% plus of the Springfield Armory arsenal refinished parkerized finish with a few scattered light handling marks and a few of the markings slightly softened. The grips are excellent with only the slightest handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The magazine pouch is very fine with light wear, and the box is fine with moderate wear and some tearing.
