Frank,
Way to flush that suffix out pardner!! Great analysis.
IMHO:
- I'm w/ Herb....too good!
- This is just one of those pistols you see today that begs to be disassembled into its 54 some pieces and studied at length with a high power glass, a flashlight, the nose, and every other trick known. All the while asking " How'd they do that so good" and "How'd it survive WWII and 68 years like this?"
- Little or no high edge wear, all blue barrel/muzzle band & sideplate island, soft frame & island edges, pictures which lack displaying the critical wear & tooling spots, soft(maybe blurry) chamber "G",...., where did Thor put his mark this time?
- Guess if Heer Weiss could make one this good under Army production quotas, Mauser would not need a commercial Banner division.
- Going to take all of three days to Inspect, a bundle of questions to the Seller, and lots of friends. But, if this is all original...Wow!
- Count me leery & in search of "halo's".
Respectfully,
Bob
