Class: Modern Handgun
Description:

Manufactured in 1969, minus a blued screw, a red-filled "F" safety marking and some internal parts the pistol shows a full gold finish, with about 75% coverage of fine engraving. Most of the decoration is punch dot backed oak leaf motifs, with checkerboard patterns on the trigger guard and front strap and a starburst on the right side of the takedown lever. The grips are checkered fancy walnut with a right-handed thumbrest, and both of the included magazines are gold finished with checkerboard pattern floorplates. The left grip panel is signed "CRAFTED BY/ARNOLD W.HUBBS/FEB.1969" With a blue leatherette Walther case.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 99% of the original gold finish, showing only the lightest handling marks. The custom grips have some chipping around the back, interfere with the magazine catch, and have had some sort of filler or sealant applied to the back sides. The case is very good with mild wear and staining. Mechanically excellent.
