Description:

Uses a mixture of new-made and military production components. Drift adjustable ramp bead front sight and Artillery-style tangent rear sight with fine adjustable notch (spanner not included) and filler block in the normal rear sight location. No markings remain on the slide. Frame and barrel lug marked "eagle/359" and the locking block marked "eagle/88". Martz's "20" and "JVM" marks are present on the right side of the frame, with a solid mounting iron added to the underside of the frame ahead of the triggerguard. To allow a High Power-style stock groove, a steel extension block has been welded to the back of the magazine well. The furniture is all made from fancy checkered walnut, with sling swivels on the Schnabel tip forearm and straight wrist stock, grip panels shaped to accommodate the stock groove, and an unnumbered bright steel iron and serrated horn buttplate on the buttstock.

Rating Definition:

Very fine as custom upgraded to current configuration. The exterior surface has been polished bright and shows a mixed gray patina, scattered brown spotting, and mild handling marks overall. The wood is also very fine, with a few light dings and scuffs overall, along with some small holes in the buttplate. Mechanically excellent.
