Description:

Manufactured in 1922 and features the very distinctive "pencil thin" barrel found on this model up until approximately serial number 31,000. The left side of the slide is marked with the caliber designation followed by the Rampant Colt. The top of the barrel is marked with the two line address/1903 and two 1918 patent dates. The front sight is elevation adjustable and the rear sight is adjustable for windage. The pistol has the correct checkered oval panel on the mainspring housing which is characteristic of the Pre-Woodsman models designed for standard velocity 22 LR ammunition only. Smooth trigger, two tone Colt marked magazine and fitted with checkered walnut grips with diamond pattern around the screw. Complete with a brown leather "US" embossed flap holster, with the flap marked "1 - F'ld Art./Illinois/65" and "ROCK ISLAND/ARSENAL/1904/H.E.K." on the back.

Rating Definition:

Very good. The pistol retains 80% original blue finish with wear on the muzzle and right front of the barrel, some edge wear, a smooth brown patina on the back strap, and thinning on the front strap and top of the slide. The grips are excellent with a few light bruises and wear in the otherwise crisp checkering. The markings are sharp. Mechanically excellent. The holster is very good showing some normal flex cracking and usage wear.
