"44" dated. Blade front and notch rear sights, with "eagle/135" proofs and matching serial numbers on the frame, slide barrel and locking block. Fitted with a set of black plastic grips and an "eagle/359" proofed magazine.

Very fine, with 95% of the original blue finish on the frame and slide, showing light pitting under the finish on the refinished barrel, minor edge wear, and light handling marks and spotting. The magazine has been refinished, with patches of shallow pitting. Grips are excellent, with minor scratches. Mechanically excellent.
