Dated 1938 on the chamber and marked "S/42" on the toggle, with "eagle/63" and "droop wing eagle" proofs on the right side of barrel extension and on the barrel, with the firing proof repeated on the breechblock. Safety position and extractor marked "GESICHERT" and "GELADEN" respectively. Matching visible numbers. Checkered walnut grips with a non-matching blue aluminum base magazine (3172u).

Very fine as partially refinished (colt blue on holster wear points). The pistol retains 90% original blue finish on the balance with the balance a smooth brown patina. There is some very scattered pin point pitting. The grips are also very fine with some minor nicks in the overall crisp checkering.
