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. The finish is full blue, with "GESICHERT" and "GELADEN" markings on the upper safety position and extractor, and checkered grips. Numbers are matching overall, including inside the grip panels and on both renumbered (to match) magazine bases (with one bearing the traditional "+" spare marking). With a brown leather holster, marked "R.ERHARDT/POESSNECK", "WaA186" and "1937" on the back.

Rating Definition:

Fine, with 80% of the original blue finish, showing gray patina on the high edges and on the grip straps, a few scratches on the side plate, and mild handling marks overall. The grips are very good, with some dings and dark spots, and the fine holster shows some light scuffing and staining. Mechanically excellent.
