Description:

With an internal striker, oversized trigger, magazine latch and with very few distinguishing markings. The frame, is marked on the left side with 2 birds in flight. The right side of the frame and trigger guard are marked simply 001. The magazine is numbered to match the other numbered components. With smooth hardwood grips. A similar example is found in J. Howard Matthews "Firearms Identification: Vol II" page 365, plate 1059. Called a "Type 31 Year" to commemorate 31 years of communist rule.

Rating Definition:

Good, missing parts (see above). With a primarily smooth gray patina. All visible markings are clear. Displaying small amounts of scattered spotting. Grips are very good, with the left panel stamped on the outside to match the numbers on the gun. This has been done on the right panel as well, except it is on the inside of the grip. Mechanically fair. The safety and firing pin are absent.
