There is an "8" on the frame under the grip. German silver blade front and frame notched rear sights. The grip section is contoured so the butt rests on the ring finger. Fitted with smooth grips.

Fine. The barrel cluster retains 60% original blue finish with the balance a smooth gray patina. The frame retains traces of original blue finish in the protected areas with the balance a mottled brown-gray patina showing some very light pitting on the right side. The grips are very fine with a few minor handling marks. Mechanically fine.
