Description:

Fixed sights, with "1938" on the chamber, "S/42" code on the toggle, "eagle/63" and "droop wing eagle" proofs on the right side of the barrel extension and on the barrel, with the firing proof on the left side of the breechblock, and "GESICHERT" and "GELADEN" on the upper safety area and extractor, respectively. Aside from the magazine, external numbers are matching. With a black leather "1937/WaA145" (Deutsche Leder-Werkstaetten, Pirmasens) marked holster, Eickhorn rural police parade bayonet (16 5/8" OAL, 12 3/8" blade, leather sheath), Alcoso Heer dagger (14 3/4" OAL, 10" blade, metal sheath with hanger) and a "HERMANN GORING" cuff title.

Rating Definition:

Very fine with 90% plus of the original blue finish, bright holster wear visible along the edges. A varnish-like coating has been applied to the exterior, a pair of thin plastic shims are positioned between the grips and frame to tighten up the fit. The grips are very fine with a few light chips and dents on the crisp checkering, and the holster is good with some mild scuffs. Mechanically excellent. The other accessories are a bit rough with the emblem missing from the police bayonet and the grip spacers missing from the army dagger grip.
