Manufactured in 1926. Fixed sights, with the two line address and patent markings on the left side of the slide and the Colt, caliber, and Rampant Colt markings on the right. The "GOVERNMENT MODEL" frame is marked "1/VP" and "51" on the trigger guard. Fitted with a flat top rear sight, wide checkered hammer, short milled trigger, long grip safety, checkered arched mainspring housing, a "COLT/45 AUTO." marked magazine, checkered grips, and an unmarked barrel.

Very fine, with 90% plus of the original blue finish, with some scattered spotting, mild handling/takedown dents and scratches, bright gray along the high edges and areas of brown on the grip straps. The chamber hood and feed ramp have been polished. Grips are fine, with some chipping around the screw heads and mild dings. Mechanically excellent.
