Description:

Dated 1938 on the chamber with "S/42" Mauser 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 and breechblock. Properly marked safety position and extractor. Full serial number on frame (with "b" suffix), barrel, and barrel extension, with the partial serial number (11) on the takedown latch, side plate, sear, safety bar, thumb safety, extractor, toggle, and toggle link. All blue finish with checkered grips and blue aluminum base magazine numbered to another gun. Complete with a brown leather holster and extra mismatched magazine. The back of the holster is stamped "GENSCHOW & Co. A.G. / BERLIN" next to a droop eagle/WaA proof and the year "1937".

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The pistol retains 98% original blue finish with some mild thinning on the grip straps, some scattered minor edge wear, and some loss at the muzzle. There is a minor circular shaped indentation on the left panel, otherwise the grips are excellent with a few minor nicks in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The holster is very good with overall age cracking on the front and some minor handling marks. Overall the stitching is tight.
