Two position safety marked "SURETE" and "FEU" and the lower left side is marked "DECHARGEMENT/ET/DEMONTAGE" in a rectangle.

Rating Definition:

Fine as period replated. The pistol retains 90% nickel finish with some finish loss on the left side of the frame and in the frame recesses. Much of the fading original case colors remain on the plunger. There is a moderate chip on the edge of the grip panel and it is loose. The markings are clear. The action is fine. The case is very fine with some minor wear and scuffs on the exterior.
