The Model 39 was the first 9 mm double action, semi-automatic pistol produced in the U.S. Steel frame models, like this example, were first introduced in 1954-1955, but not assembled or sold until 1966, with only 927 manufactured. Fitted with serrated blade front and adjustable rear sights. Includes an original box, extra magazine, and warranty card. Provenance: The Jon M. Maxwell Collection

Excellent, retaining 99% plus original blue finish with limited handling marks. Grips are very fine with a couple minor dings and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. Box is very fine.
