Showa dated "17.3" (1942, March).

Very good, retaining some of the original finishes with some minor edge wear, plum coloration on the trigger guard, brown patina on the grip straps, and thinning on the balance with grey patina along with scattered minor patches of freckling and some light handling marks. The grips are fine with some light rub wear, minor compression marks, and defined ribbing. Mechanically excellent.
