Matching full serial number on left barrel extension, frame (with "e" suffix), and barrel, with the partial serial number "64" on the small components. All salt blue finish with checkered walnut grips and blue magazine with plastic base. The left side of the magazine is marked "fxo / eagle/37" and "P08" near the base.

The back of the holster is marked "cdg / 42" between the belt loops and with a large "P.08" at the rear. Also included is the original capture certificate dated October 18, 1945.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The pistol retains 98% original blue finish with some wear on the muzzle, left side of the barrel extension and high edges. There is some minor spots of pitting on the back strap. The grips are also excellent with a couple minor pressure dents, a few minor dings and some minor high point wear on the otherwise very crisp checkering. The markings are crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent. The holster is fine. There are several cuts on the flap and front, otherwise some minor wear and tight stitching.
