Thanks for the welcome. Can you elaborate on the condition issues? I see the stain on the grip from the snap on the holster. He's obviously kept it in the holster. I'm going to give him a gun case to store it in.

It looks to me, from the photos (which is all I've seen) that the finish is original. Am I right about that?

As for the magazine base, I don't have a photo. But the serial number on the magazine doesn't match. It's close...

Hi Dave, The finish looks original to me. The barrel serial numbers show halos, as they should, and the small pin in the top of the left toggle is "in the white", also as it should be. The grips appear to be beech, which was common towards the end of the war, when walnut was in short supply. The issues I was referring to, are the abrasions on the chamber, possibly caused by too aggressive cleaning, and the stained grip that you noted. Does the magazine base have a Crown/M stamp similar to those on the left receiver? Regards, Norm

Hi Norm,

That I don't know. None of the photos shows the base. The only reason I know the serial number on the magazine is that the owner told his son, and he told me.

Thanks for your comments!

What does the "100" mean between the toggle and the rear sight?

Hi Dave, It means 100 meters. When the sight is moved up and back it will be set for 200 meters. Regards, Norm
