Inverted "V" blade front and fixed notch rear sights, "1940" dated chamber, standard military serial number placement with the full number on front of the frame, and underside of the barrel, and matching partial "04" serial numbers on the small parts, "42" Mauser manufacturer code on the front toggle, and "eagle/655" acceptance stamps and "eagle" firing proofs on the right side of the barrel extension. With checkered grips and nickel magazine with aluminum base marked "S/42" and "eagle/63". Includes "1941" dated "fuq" code holster.

Excellent with 90% original blue finish, areas of visible high point and edge wear, handling marks, and some scattered dings and scratches. The grips are very fine with mildly worn checkering and some small dings. Mechanically excellent. Holster is very good with tight stitching, scuffs and scratches on the exterior, clear markings, and some mild cracking on the closure strap.
