Don't know much about these, there don't appear to be any Waffenamt marks on it. Is that usual for this type of issued pistol?

Private party purchase. My understanding is the main block of manufacturing was from 1934 until 1935. About 30,000 were made and land in serial range of 819000 to 850000 according to legacy video. This one is in that serial range and produced possibly in 1935. They should be crown over n proofed which this one is and have 90 degree safety. They could be purchased by nsdap members.

Thanks Tim

I have one too! This particular variation is rare because it was made in 1940 and has "Eagle N" proofs. It has retained about 94% of its original finish. There is very minor muzzle and high edge wear, minor thinning and spotty oxidation on the front strap, and areas of discoloration and patina on the right side of the slide. It comes with an excellent brown grip and a banner-only brown finger extension magazine. The bore is near-mint. I also have a similar holster to yours with no maker mark. It is not leather. I think they call it ersatz leather like a patent leather its synthetic. See the holster on Ort level party leader uniform in the 3rd pic.

Thanks and looks like you have a super collection of memorabilia there. Can be an expensive hobby as well as finding many items you have interest in.

what was the Protocall for wear, on the left side or on the right side for them?

**Tim030** · 11-14-2022, 02:09 PM

Thanks, I really enjoy the history and learning. This forum has so much knowledge. My collection also brings back found memories of a friend and mentor who passed. My collection is also in the collection section of the forum.

Thanks again Tim.
