Manufactured by Colt in 1966. The left side of the barrel is stamped with the model and caliber designations, with Colt's single-line address across the top. The frame is case color hardened, while the barrel, ejector rod housing, cylinder, and grip straps are blued. The frame is mounted with 2-piece Colt checkered black plastic grips. All numbers match and include the frame, cylinder, and grip straps. Grips match via the last 3 digits of the serial number, which are hand-scribed on the interiors above "Colt/ .45". CONDITION: Very good overall, with the frame retaining vibrant case coloring overall, with some spots of minor wear and fading, and some scattered superficial marks from handling and storage. Blued components exhibit some wear and thinning, with worn areas showing through to a gray patina. The left side of the barrel exhibits a small spot of mild surface oxidation at the muzzle area. Brilliant mirror bore, exhibiting sharp and well-defined rifling throughout. Grips show some minor smoothing, as well as some scattered marks, but are otherwise fine.
