The left side of the slide has the three-line legend which is dated "1911" followed by a Metropolitan Police "crown/MP" and the "WS" winged bullet logo. The front strap has the police number "3519." It has the early fine slide serrations and early tempered blue finish. British proofs are present. Although dated 1911, the pistol falls into a serial number range (70100-70699) of 600 units manufactured in March 1912.

Excellent. The pistol retains 95% bright original high polish blue finish showing some minor edge wear, some speckling of patina and some minor handling marks. The grips are very fine with a hairline crack on the bottom (right panel) and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent.
