Catalog Page: 232
Class: Curio & Relic Handgun
Description:

Aside from a single stamping on the underside of the barrel extension, this scarce 9 mm chambered Model 1929 pistol was produced completely devoid of traditional serial numbering suggesting it is an early production test/tool room pistol not intended for outside sale. Fixed sights, with a Swiss Cross in a shield on the toggle link, "F+/W" on the rear of the frame, and scattered "Swiss Cross" and "E25" proofs on the components. The grips are checkered brown plastic with "F+/W" and "S&Co" imprints, and the magazine is nickel with an unmarked brown plastic base. With a steel barrel insert for a sub-caliber gallery cartridge, approximately 2-4 mm in diameter, with "28/2752" on the niter blue adjustment cone.

Rating Definition:

Excellent with 99% of the original blue finish showing some light dings on the barrel and side plate along with some scattered light handling marks. The ejector is absent. Grips are excellent with a small ding on the left panel near the bottom. Mechanically excellent
