Description:

Dated "42" on the chamber and marked "byf" on the toggle. Two "Eagle/135" proofs and Nazi firing proof on the right side of the barrel extension, "eagle/135" proof on the breech end of the barrel, and firing proof on the barrel and left side of the breechblock. Visible serial numbers match, including the partial number "99" on most of the small parts. Blue magazine with unmarked body and pot metal base marked "997/b/eagle/655". The left grip panel has an inset pearl rectangle with a gold relief Old English "F" at the top and an inset German coin at the bottom. Comes with a black leather flap holster marked "jhg/41/ eagle/swastika/WaA286" and "08"on the back.

Rating Definition:

Fine. The pistol retains 85% original blue finish with some thinning and high edge wear. The barrel extension is taking on a plum color. The grips are good as modified (see above) showing some roughness around the coin and some minor wear to the otherwise crisp checkering. The markings remain clear. Mechanically fine. The holster is very good with a dull finish showing some light flexing and tight stitching.
