Standard "byf/43" slide markings on the left side with "Eagle/135" proofs present on the slide, frame and barrel lug. Visible "p" serial numbers are matching. Fitted with ribbed grips. Magazine is marked "P.38v" and has an "Eagle/135" proof on the spine.

Excellent. The pistol retains 95% plus original blue finish with a smooth gray patina on the front grip strap. The grips are excellent with a small hairline crack on the bottom of the right panel and a few mild handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
