Description:

Chamber dated 1938 and toggle marked "S/42", with "eagle/63" and "droop wing eagle" firing proofs on barrel extension and barrel with the firing proof repeated on the breechblock. Bore diameter "8,82" (restamped) marked on the bottom of the barrel and properly marked extractor and safety position. Matching visible full serial numbers with the partial number "50" marked on most of the small parts and a large "50" on the inside of the left grip panel. Fixed sights, replacement Haenel, marked nickel plated magazine with aluminum bottom marked "7187" and fitted with checkered walnut grips.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as partially refinished (cold blue on holster wear points). The pistol retains 75% original blue finish overall with a small area of smooth gray patina on the toe of the front grip, with strap thinning on the back strap. There is some minor pitting on the side plate. The grips are excellent. The left panel is a bit darker than the right and shows some minor dings and nicks, otherwise overall crisp checkering. The markings are clear. Mechanically excellent.
