Item Views: 3339

Description:

Blade front and 1,000-meter tangent rear sights, with the three-line address on top of the chamber, "crown/crown/U" on the left, the two-line address on the frame, and the hammer is not "NS" marked. A small floral/sunwheel design, as typically seen on weapons acquired by the nation of Siam (modern Thailand), is present on the back of the frame above the stock cut. A limited number of Broomhandle pistols (both Mauser and Astra varieties) are known to have been acquired by the government of Siam, likely for police use. Fitted with a set of 35-groove hardwood grips, with a brown leather harness dated "1919" and marked "BWiederman/Berlin" on the back.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 95% plus of the original blue, showing some light edge wear and handling marks overall. The grips are very fine with some dents and scuffs. The reproduction harness is very good, with some scuffs and repairs. Mechanically excellent. Correction: the hammer does not have the "NS" markings
