Description:

Fixed sights, dated "1937" on the chamber, with the "S/42" code on the toggle. "Droop wing eagle/63" proofs on the extension and barrel, with eagle firing proofs on the extension, barrel and breechblock. Fine straw finish is present on the small parts and niter blue on the pins and springs, with "GESICHERT" and "GELADEN" markings on the upper safety position and extractor, and checkered grips. Minus the magazine, numbers are matching overall, including inside the grip panels. With a brown leather holster, marked "GENSCHOW & Co.-A.G./-BERLIN-", "WaA387" and "1937" on the back, and a faintly marked takedown tool.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, with 95% of the original blue finish, showing some mild handling marks, high edge wear and minor spotting. 85% original straw color is remaining on the small parts, and the screws, pins and springs show about 75% fiery niter blue. The grips are also excellent, with some light dings. The very good holster shows some staining and stress lines. Mechanically excellent.
