Manufactured in 1957, the first year of production. The left side of the slide has the standard Colt National Match markings followed by the Rampant Colt. The right side of the slide has the standard one-line Colt address as well as "TOBY CHANDLER/U.S. SECRET SERVICE", indicating that this may have been Chandler's service weapon when he was a U.S. Secret Service agent. The serial number is marked on the right of the frame and the left of the trigger guard is marked "VP/Y". It is fitted with a Patridge blade front sight, adjustable notch rear sight, adjustable serrated trigger, an extended grip safety, serrated arched mainspring housing, and a serrated skeletonized hammer. It is also fitted with a pair of checkered rubber Crimson Trace laser sight grips (untested). This pistol was part of the collection of Toby Jason Chandler (July 31st, 1934-May 25th, 2022). Toby originally graduated from the U.S. Army Officer Candidate School at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, became commissioned as a Lieutenant of Field Artillery, was reassigned as Captain of Military Intelligence, and then began a 22-year distinguished career as a U.S. Secret Service Agent from 1959-1981. At 26 years old, he became the youngest agent assigned to the elite team directly protecting The White House. Between 1959-1965 he was assigned to the personal details of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, President John F. Kennedy, and President Lyndon B. Johnson. Provenance: The Toby Jason Chandler Collection
