Manufactured in 1939 with the standard two-line address/patent dates and Rampant Colt on the left of the slide and the caliber markings on the right. Trigger guard marked "X/VP" and "75", the serial number on the left of the frame, and standard features. The included factory letter confirms the current configuration with the grips not listed as well as shipment to Blish, Mize & Silliman Hardware Co. in Atchison, Kansas on 6 October 1939. Also included is the original Colt maroon box.

Excellent, retains 99% plus of the original blue finish with a few scattered very light scratch marks visible on the front grip strap. The grips are also excellent with only the slightest handling marks and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The box is also excellent with some very light corner storage wear. One will look a long time to find another example like this!
