Fixed sights, with "1940" on the chamber and "42" on the top of the toggle. External numbers are matching. Two "eagle/655" proofs and one "eagle/swastika" firing proof are marked on the right side of the receiver. A smaller "eagle/swastika" firing proof is on the right side of the barrel and left side of the breechblock. A smaller "eagle/655" proof is on the upper left side of the barrel. The safety and extractor are marked "GESICHERT" and "GELADEN" respectively. Fitted with checkered grips. Both of the included magazines are blued with alloy bases, marked "241/f", the spare also marked "+". With a brown leather holster, marked "C.O.GEHRCKENS/PINNEBERG/1940" and "WaA279" on the rear, with a blued steel "eagle/655" takedown tool.

Rating Definition:

Fine, with 70% of the blue finish, showing bright edge wear, scattered handling marks, a few small areas of shallow pitting. The grip straps show a mixed gray patina, with a few dings on and around the chamber. The grips are good, with some chipping and dents. The very good holster shows some scuffs and cracks, with evidence of old hand-writing on the rear. Mechanically excellent.
