The Mauser "crown/U" definitive proofmark is located on the upper left side of the receiver on the flat below the serial number and on top left side of the bolt. The rear of the hammer has the new safety ("NS") marking and a crown/gothic letter proof on the right receiver flat. The rear sight is graduated from 50-500 meters. The trigger, safety, rear sight elevation bar and extractor have a brilliant niter blue finish. The groove grips have a large number "9" correctly filled with red paint on both sides.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The pistol retains 90% original blue finish with the barrel and back strap thinning to a gray patina and the remaining surfaces thinning to a brown patina along with some minor edge wear. The grips are excellent with a few minor handling marks and a pressure mark from the lanyard ring. Mechanically excellent.
