Rare Early Production Menz 1927 Venus Marked Semi-Automatic Pistol

With a fixed barrel integral to the frame and early type right angle slide, fixed sights and checkered hard rubber grips with "7.65" inlaid in a brass laurel at the tops. The barrel, frame and slide are marked with standard German "crown/N" proofs, and the left side of the slide is marked "VENUS", a trade name under which Menz pistols were sometimes sold. They are very similar to the Liliput pistols also manufactured by Menz.

ConditionExcellent with 95% plus of the original rust blue finish displaying areas of edge wear and light handling marks. The grips are fine with exception of a chip out of left pane, sharp checkering, light handling marks and complete inlays. Mechanically excellent.
