Colt Model 1911, .38 Super cal. auto pistol. Serial #72473, mfg. 1948. Excellent condition. Here's a real post-war screamer with 98% blue - just a couple of marks where the slide was drawn back just forward of the frame. Perhaps unfired. Owner said he had it for 35 years and never drew the slide back! 5" barrel has an excellent bore. Fixed sights. Vivid markings. Maroon checkered grips are excellent. One correctly marked magazine. Highly desirable early .38 SUPER! Wow! C&R OK. Gunrunner West item.
