Manufactured during World War II, fixed front and rear sights, with matching numbers and "WaA140" proofs visible on the barrel, slide, and frame, and the FN address/Browning patent markings on the slide. The grips are checkered walnut, and the magazine is finished in blue with "eagle/WaA140" proof.

Excellent, retains 90% plus of the original blue finish with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina, primarily in the form of light holster and handling type wear. The grips are also excellent showing some light brighter wear on the back edges and crisp checkering overall. Mechanically excellent.
