The top of the chamber is dated 1917 and the toggle has the crown/ERFURT marking. Crown/gothic letter and Imperial eagle proofs are present with the "crown/RC" arsenal rework proof on the barrel, right barrel extension, trigger guard, toggle link, and breechblock. Properly marked safety position and extractor, with the bore marking on the barrel underside. Matching serial on the front of the frame (with "s" suffix), barrel extension and barrel, with the partial serial number (s) on the takedown latch, side plate, sear, safety bar, thumb safety lever, extractor, toggle, and toggle link. Straw colored small parts, checkered grips, nickel plated wood base magazine numbered to a different gun. With a July 14, 1945 veteran bring back certificate tag. Complete with 1916 dated leather holster and extra unmarked wood base magazine.

Excellent. The pistol retains 95% original blue finish showing some thinning to a brown with some scattered minor flaking and spots of pitting. The small parts retain 70% original straw finish. The dark grips are very fine with some very scattered minor nicks in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The holster is good with the takedown tool pouch absent and a stitched tear on the front, along with flex wear.
