Showa dated "18.7" (1939, September). The lanyard loop is absent.

Fair, with a few traces of original finish in protected areas with the balance thinned to a mostly grey smooth patina with scattered minor pitting, some edge silvering, some scattered light patches of freckling, and some mild handling wear. The grips are very good with light rub wear and minor handling marks in the otherwise defined checkering. Mechanically functions.
