This pistol has the 'fine tune' nine-position adjustable rear sight and adjustable front blade sight. The top of the chamber is dated "1916" and the "DWM" logo is on the toggle. The right side of the barrel extension is marked with three crown over Gothic letter proofs and the Imperial Eagle. The right rear of the barrel and left side of the breech block are also marked with the Imperial Eagle. The complete matching serial number is marked on the left side of the barrel extension, front of the frame and on the bottom of the of the barrel, with the partial number "28" marked on most of the small parts including the locking block, sear bar assembly, trigger and the inside of both grip panels. The bottom of the barrel is marked with a "crown/M", the safety and extractor are properly marked and the back strap is remarked "M/anchor/1183/N". Rust blue finish with straw colored small parts, unmarked nickel magazine with wooden bottom and fitted with checkered walnut grips.

Very fine. The pistol retains 70% of the original blue finish with a mottled gray patina forming on the barrel and a smooth mottled brown patina on the grip straps. There is some high edge wear and some light spotting. The back strap has a questionable, added naval mark. Most of the original straw color remains on the small parts. The grips are fine, with a few minor dings and nicks, and crisp checkering. The markings are clear. Mechanically excellent.
