Description:

Blade front and tangent rear sights, "1917" date on the chamber and "DWM" monogram on the toggle link. Three "crown/ letter" proofs are present on the right side of the barrel extension, with Imperial Eagle firing proofs on the extension, barrel and breechblock. Visible numbers match with exception of hold-open unnumbered, firing pin numbered "92". Proper "GESICHERT" and "GELADEN" markings on the upper safety position and extractor respectively. Checkered walnut grips, with an 18k gold shield (at today's price of gold, probably worth hundreds of dollars in SCRAP!) on the left panel engraved with a design of an arm in plate armor.

Rating Definition:

Very fine with 90% plus of the original blue finish, bright edge wear and handling marks. Straw colors remain 30% intact. Grips are also very fine, with mild pressure dents and a spot of green residue on the left panel. Mechanically excellent.
