The visible early "m" block serial numbers match. There are "Eagle/135" proofs present and the slide has the "byf/43" standard marking. Ribbed grips and "P.38v" marked magazine featuring an "Eagle/135" proof on the spine.

Excellent. The pistol retains 98% plus original blue finish showing some thinning to a brown on the front grip strap and some loss at the muzzle. There is a patch of light pitting on the slide (left side). The grips are excellent with a few light handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
