Item Details

High Estimate7000
Low Estimate5000
serial #40224, 38 Super, 5'' barrel with an excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this 1947 pistol retain about 98% original factory blue with some scattered light freckling, light handling marks and slight signs of operational use. It features the very early matte finish on the top radius of the slde, the thumb safety toning slghtly to plum. The brown checkered Coltwood grips are about excellent with sharp points and no real blemishes to speak of. This 2nd Model is equipped with fixed sights and is interestingly marked ''Government Model'' on the right of the receiver above the serial number. This marking was to only be used on the .45 caliber frames, apparently this message was not passed down to the machinist and he marked around 300 guns incorrectly. According to Sheldon's book Colt's Super .38: The Production History, he states he has only observed five of these guns and possibly the highest serial number produced with this anomaly is 40320. Serial number 40012 is pictured in the book and serial numbers 40001, 40114 and 40215 are mentioned by the author, giving this gun further provenance and putting it well within the known range. Colt shipping records indicate that a very high percentage of these guns between the 40000-43000 serial range were shipped overseas, pistols that remained in the US have always been very difficult to procure. Included is the original purple hinge-top box in about fair condition, the ''Colt Automatic Pistol Super.38'' label is in very good shape, the remainder of the box shows worn areas on the edges, a 1'' piece missing from the side of the lid, two separated corners and scattered handling marks. Inside the box is the original fold-out manual and shooting suggestions pamphlet. A provided factory letter indicates this gun was part of a five gun shipment to the George Worthington Company in Cleveland, Ohio in June of 1947. (229281-2) {C&R}
