Dated 1917 on the chamber, with the "DWM" monogram on the toggle. Fitted with the distinctive blade front and tangent rear sights, numbered to match the gun. The right side of the chamber has a set of three "crown/ gothic letter" proofs next to the Imperial Eagle firing proof, which is repeated on the barrel. Matching full serial numbers on the barrel, frame and barrel extension, with matching partial numbers on the sights, extractor, toggles, locking bar, side plate, and safety components. Proper "GESICHERT" and "GELADEN" marked upper safety position and extractor, with stock lug on the backstrap. Complete with a nickel plated magazine with wood base numbered to gun.

Very fine. The pistol retains approximately 75% of the thin original blue finish with some minor wear on the high edges and the beginnings of a gray patina on the barrel sides, back of frame and grip straps. The straw color on the trigger and safety is very good as partially refinished. The takedown bar has been reblued. The grips are excellent with some scattered mild handling marks. The checkering is crisp.
