Fitted with a pair of checkered walnut grips with matching "00" partials on the interiors and a "P" marked nickel finished later production Swiss magazine. Includes a brown leather flap holster, marked "20T.R." on the back and "H/AWM/9/14" on the front with a "1939" dated Knight's Cross medal attached to the partially abase flap strap, a takedown tool, an unmarked reproduction magazine, and a September 17, 1945, dated USFET Form No. 33 capture certificate from the European Theater of Operations listing the pistol by serial number as in the possession of a "PFC Alfred J.

Rating Definition:

Fine, retaining much of the original finish with light edge wear, thinning on the barrel, extension, and grip straps with brown and grey patinas, numerous scattered minor patches of visible spotting/freckling, and some mild handling wear. The grips are very fine with some minor handling marks in the otherwise defined checkering. Mechanically excellent. The holster is very good.
