Description:

"1938" dated chamber, "S/42" code front toggle link, "eagle/63" proofed. Matching serial numbers on the frame, barrel, and extension, along with matching "30" partials on small parts. Fitted with a pair of checkered walnut grips with matching partial serial numbers visible on the interiors and a blued magazine with a "1" marked, "eagle/63" proofed, and matching re-numbered alloy base. Includes a "E.G.LEUNER/1930/BAUTZEN" marked and spurious "eagle/N" proofed black leather flap holster, and "eagle/63" proofed takedown tool, and an extra re-numbered to match blued magazine with a "2" marked and "eagle/63" proofed alloy base.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retaining most of the professionally restored blue finish with some minor pitting/spotting on the left rear of the frame, some minor holster pattern edge wear on the muzzle, some minor silvering at the toe of the front grip strap, a light impact mark on the lanyard loop, and otherwise limited minor handling marks and clear markings. The grips are also very fine with a hairline crack in the upper left of the right panel, and some minor compression wear to the otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The remarked, re-oiled holster is very good.
