A close-up
view of the serial number that appears to have had the first number "2" and
the number "7" struck again. The dyes would frequently wear out and have to
be hand struck over top of the original number. The second "2" looks as if
it should have been restruck as well. Note the type 3 magazine release with
convex screw and screw slot. The early Colt production (S/N 1-3,189) had no
screw slot and the type 2 (S/N 3,190-6500) had a concave screw with
screw slot. |
