Standard "SVW/45" slide markings, French star proof on right side of slide, and visible "i" block serial numbers match. Fitted with steel ribbed grips. Magazine marked "jvd" and "P.38/U" without acceptance stamps. Manufactured after the French took control of the Mauser factory at the end of World War II. The Interarms box is numbered to the gun.

Excellent. The pistol retains 95% plus original black finish with the front grip strap having a smooth gray patina and some minor high edge wear. The grips are excellent with some scattered gray on the high edges. Mechanically excellent. The box is very fine.
