Blade front and notch rear sights, with "LE FRANCAIS" stamped atop the slide and the St. Etienne address on the right side. Scroll and border engraving is present on the barrel, slide, frame and trigger. Checkered hard rubber grips, with the wreathed "MF" logo on the grip panels and the magazine base.

Excellent, with 95% of the faded original blue finish, showing mild edge wear and handling marks. Traces of the original case colors are visible on the trigger, which has turned a smooth light gray overall. Grips are very good, with some mild pressure dents. Mechanically excellent.
