The left side of the frame is stamped "UNITED STATES PROPERTY" and with a circled "GHS" cartouche. The right side of the frame is stamped only with the serial number. Fitted with a set of checkered walnut grips with double diamond pattern. With a brown leather dual magazine pouch stamped "U.S./MILWAUKEE SADDLERY CO./1946" and two extra magazines.

The grips are very good with a large gouge on the right grip and some scattered minor marks. Mechanically fine. The magazine pouch is good with stains, scratches and scuffs.
