Description:

Dated 1938 on the chamber, with the "S/42" code on the toggle. "Eagle/63" and "droop wing eagle" proofs on the right side of the barrel extension and on the barrel, with the firing proof repeated on the barrel and breechblock, and "GESICHERT" and "GELADEN" on the upper safety area and extractor, respectively. Matching numbers on the small components and left grip panel, with checkered hardwood grips and blue magazine with aluminum base.

Very fine, with 95% of the original blue finish, showing a few hints of brown patina, wear along the high edges, and scattered handling marks. A small spot of cold blue is present on the muzzle. Grips are very fine, with exception of a chip absent from the left panel next to the safety. Mechanically excellent.
