Manufactured during the German occupation of Belgium during World War II. Blade front and tangent rear sights with the two-line Herstal address over the Browning patent marking on the slide, "eagle/swastika" and "WaA103" proofs on the slide, barrel and frame, and stacked serial numbers on the right. Serrated ring hammer, smooth back strap, and checkered hardwood grips.

Very fine with 85% plus of the original blue finish showing bright wear along the high edges, a patch of brown patina at the bottom of the front strap, and scattered spotting and handling marks. The grips are very fine with a few light dents and crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent.
