Description:

Dated "1939" over the chamber and marked "S/42" on the top of the toggle. Two "eagle/63" proofs and the eagle firing proof appear on the right side of the chamber, with the latter also appearing on the right side of the barrel and the left side of the breechblock. The upper safety area and extractor are marked "GESICHERT" and "GELADEN" respectively, with a full blue finish and checkered grips. All visible numbers are matching including the two included blue finished alloy base magazines, with one having the correct "+" marking. Also included is a "1939" dated R. Ehrhardt brown leather holster with an "eagle/63" proofed takedown tool.

Rating Definition:

Very fine, retains 70% of the original blue finish with the balance mostly a smooth grey patina, primarily on the grip straps and high spots, and the barrel extension showing a slight plum patina. The grips are also very fine with a few scattered light blemishes in the overall crisp checkering. Mechanically excellent. The holster is very good with some light wear.
