serial #8948a, 9mm, 4'' barrel with an about very good bore with pinprick and light pitting but strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces retain about 80% original blue, most of the loss from the barrel which has worn to gray with areas of pinprick pitting and mild staining, the remaining surfaces showing light wear on high edges and contact points, light thinning and toning to brown on the gripstraps, and some scattered light handling marks and freckles. The strawed parts retain very good color with the edges toning to silver, primarily on the trigger, and some gray freckling, and the toggles and sear spring show vibrant fire blue. The checkered walnut grips are in very good condition with some light wear and some small, flattened points of checkering, the grips screws retaining remnants of fire blue at the edges otherwise toned to gray, and neither panel is marked. The factory metal markings are intact and easily legible, save for perhaps the ''B|90'' on the barrel which is light, with ''W|154'' and ''S|92'' proofs and a droopwing eagle firing proof on the receiver, and all the numbered parts including the grooved firing pin are matching to the pistol, save for rear toggle pin which is numbered ''41'' (perhaps being a simple arsenal error). The pistol retains the standard open sights and included is a reproduction bright-bodied aluminum-base magazine, the follower for which is broken at the rear and doesn't engage the hold-open. An honest example of these 1935-made pistols, coded to hide production numbers in violation of the Treaty of Versailles. (14A11810-1) {C&R} (1800/2200)
