Description:

Fixed sights, with "41" over the chamber, "byf" on the toggle, and "eagle/135" and "eagle/swastika" proofs on appropriate parts. Overall finish is full blue, with a set of checkered black plastic grips, in the "black widow" style. "GESICHERT" and "GELADEN" markings, and a blued magazine with an alloy base. Included with the pistol is an extra blue/alloy magazine, "eagle/655" marked blued steel takedown/loading tool and a brown leather flap holster, marked "P.08", "dta/41" and "WaA195" (A. Waldhausen, Cologne) on the back.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 97% plus of the original blue finish, showing some light holster wear. The grips are also excellent, with some minor dings on the otherwise crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. Holster is fair, with the closure strap absent, the tool pouch and one belt loop replaced, and some worn/lost stitching. Mechanically excellent.
