Catalog Page: 366
Class: Curio & Relic Handgun
Description:

Fixed sights, with "42" on the chamber and "byf" on the toggle, "eagle/135" proofs on the barrel and extension, and "eagle/swastika" proofs on the barrel, extension and breechblock. Except for the nickel/alloy magazine, external numbers are matching in military style, with a full blue finish and a pair of hardwood grips. Included with the lot is an "eagle 63" proofed blued steel takedown tool and a brown leather Genschow & Company P.08 holster.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, with 85% plus of the original blue finish, showing some bright edge wear, scattered handling marks, the start of a brown patina on the grip straps and some light spotting. The grips are also very fine with some minor dings and stains, and the serial number has been removed from the hold open. The holster is a bit rough, with a repaired belt loop and numerous tears and scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
