There is a correct "P" on top of the slide in front of the rear sight. Left side of frame has the [CSR] inspection stamp For Charles S. Reed. He was the inspector during 1938 to 1940.

These barrel markings are correct for guns produced after serial number 710001. The frame's bluing would rate a 94% overall condition. The front grip area has the most wear due to handling. The magazine is a very fine condition two tone magazine. The bore has sharp lands with some pitting from poor cleaning. This is a very fine condition pre war Colt that is in it's original condition as it left Colt's in 1940. These pre war pistols are highly prized by collectors today.
