Proper "GESICHERT" and "GELADEN" markings on the upper safety position and extractor respectively. Checkered walnut grips and nickel magazine with matching numbered wood base.

ConditionFine, with 70% of the faded original blue finish, showing areas of brown patina, bright wear along the edges, a few small areas of pitting and scattered handling marks.

Grips are very good, with light pressure dents and sharp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
