Blade and notch sights, with a "1940" dated chamber, the "Mauser Banner" logo on the front toggle link, a set of "eagle/N" commercial proofs, along with an externally matching set of "military pattern" serial numbers (minus the magazine). Fitted with a set of straw finished small parts, checkered hardwood grips, and a nickel magazine with an alloy base. Includes a brown leather flap holster. Provenance: The Paul Crockett Jr. Collection

Very fine, with 85% plus of the original blue finish, showing a brown patina on the backstrap and sides of the frame, bright wear along the high edges, and mild spotting and handling marks overall. 70% of the original straw color is present on the small parts, and the grips are also very fine with minor dings and light staining. The holster is good, with the pull-strap absent and scuffs and cracks overall. Mechanically excellent.
