Dated 1940 on top of the chamber and marked "42" on the toggle, with "eagle/655" proofs on the extension and barrel, and "eagle/swastika" firing proofs on the barrel, extension and breechblock. Finish is full blue, including the small components, with checkered hardwood grips. Minus the blue finished alloy base magazine, external numbers are matching overall.

Fine, with 70% of the faded original blue finish, showing areas of brown patina, bright edge wear, and scattered spotting and handling marks overall. Some light pitting is present on the cold blued muzzle and side plate, with a small ding on the left rear edge of the frame. The heavily worn grips are good, with dents, flat spots and stains. Mechanically excellent.
