The serial number 42885 aligns with production in 1942–1943, as Colt Commando serial numbers in the 40,000 range correspond to this period during World War II. Introduced in 1942, the Colt Commando was a simplified version of the Official Police revolver, designed to meet wartime demands for a reliable sidearm for military and civilian defense personnel, including factory guards and military police. The parkerized finish and Coltwood plastic grips were cost-saving measures to expedite production. The .38 Special cartridge provided effective stopping power for close-quarters defense. Its historical significance lies in its role as a wartime firearm, with approximately 50,000 produced, many issued to U.S. forces or lend-lease programs. This example’s C&R eligibility makes it a prized piece for collectors of WWII firearms. This revolver is in excellent condition, retaining an impressive 99% of its original parkerized finish with minimal wear. The 4" barrel has a brilliant bore, indicating meticulous care and limited use. The checkered brown Coltwood grips with the Rampant Colt monogram are in superb condition, complementing the revolver’s wartime aesthetic. Mechanically fine, the double-action/single-action mechanism operates smoothly with a crisp trigger pull. All markings, including the Colt logo and caliber designation, are crisp and legible. Don’t miss your chance to own this pristine WWII Colt Commando, a rare and significant piece of American firearms history.
