Hello everyone,

I picked this up in a Gunbroker auction for a reasonable price and the bore is a bit worn but you can still see rifling, the gun has had the toggle very buffed prior to a reblue but it's all matching except for the grips and the magazine. The magazine has had some modified magazine button (no clue what they used).

I'll have better photos come daylight but here's one from the range (I had to put a few rounds through). The magazine is a wooden base and has this marking: M.W. 24., 1948.

The gun itself is numbered 9422 m, I think (for the letter). It got buffed pretty hard...

Michael
