Proper wide spur hammer, wide trigger, thin front sight, relieved checkered slide stop, and not much wear to the slide hold back notch. Two toned type mag. CONDITION: Front and rear sights in good condition, rear sight has proper small "U" notch. Receiver and slide have most of the orig economy war time finish remaining. Finish may possibly have been re-blued but shows no apparent buffing. Receiver and slide have numerous small dings and scratches but very little pitting. Stocks are proper Colt double diamond type in good ++ condition. Stock screws show minor slot damage. Holes behind stocks show heart shaped cutouts. Bbl has vertical "P H" marking which is per the books a bit too early for the SN. Bore good ++ with a couple of pits. Minor pitting on both sides of the trigger.
