Blade front and 1000-meter tangent rear sights, with the three line Mauser marking on the top of the chamber area, "crown/crown/U" and "antler" proofs on the sides, and a series of British inspection marks on the right side of the barrel. Matching external numbers on the hammer, frame, magazine follower, floorplate, and the interior of the 23-groove grips. Provenance: The Jon M. Maxwell Collection

Very fine, with 75% plus original blue finish, showing areas of brown patina, light edge wear, scattered dings, spotting concentrated on the grip frame, and light handling marks overall. The grips are fine, with some light dents and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
