''WaA140'' Waffenamt proofs are present on the slide at the muzzle and to the front of the left side slide serrations, on the frame above the trigger and on the barrel, the barrel proofs have been mostly obscured by operational wear. “MR” proofs can also be seen on the barrel lug and the left of the triggerguard. The checkered walnut grips are about very good with some flattened points and a couple scattered light handling marks. This pistol was likely manufactured around 1942, it features a ring hammer, thumbprint slide and an internal extractor.
