Description:

Fixed sights, with "42" date on the chamber and "byf" manufacturer code on the toggle. The barrel extension is marked with a pair of "eagle/135" proofs and an "eagle/ swastika" proof, which is repeated on the barrel and breechblock. Except for the grips and magazine, numbers match. Marked "P.08" on the side, with blue small parts, and checkered black plastic grips. Includes a "DLU/1942" leather pigskin holster hand marked "HESS" on the back and inside/outside the flap, takedown tool, and two total "fxo/eagle/37" magazines.

Rating Definition:

Excellent, retains 95% plus original blue finish with the balance having thinned to a smooth grey patina, primarily on edges and the grip areas. The grips are also excellent with a few minor blemishes and light wear in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The holster is fine as G.I. inscribed (see above) with minimal wear.
