The left side of the frame has an eagle/WaA251 Nazi Army acceptance stamp flanked by "Mle 1935-A" and "C1684A / S.A.C.M." Fitted checkered grips.

Excellent. The pistol retains 97% original black enamel with some scattered minor flaking, some mild edge wear and some minor handling marks. There is a patch of minor wear on the left grip panel, otherwise the grips are very fine with a few mild handling marks and overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.

Standard slide legend, Spanish proofs on the slide, frame, trigger guard and chamber. The chamber is marked "Cal. 08". The serial number falls into the serial number range of Model B pistols delivered to the German Navy in July 1943, (see Whittington's book). Fitted with diamond checkered grips, but is not proofed.

Fine.The slide retains 60% of the faded original blue finish with the balance a smooth brown patina with some minor spotting. The frame retains 70% original blue finish with the grip straps thinning to a brown patina. The grips are good with a few minor dings and some minor wear in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
