Toggle bears Mauser's "byf" manufacturer code. Metal components are salt blued, with the frame being mounted with 2-piece checkered black plastic grips. Blued magazine retains a black plastic bottom. All numbers are matching, with the exception of the black plastic grips and magazine bottom, which are appropriately unnumbered. Pistol is accompanied by a "DLU/1941" (E. Luneschloss) above an "(Eagle) / 641" waffenamt marked leather holster that contains 1 spare wood bottom magazine. CONDITION: Metal components retain the majority of their original arsenal applied blue finish some light wear and thinning overall, as well as a few scattered spots of light inactive oxidation. Very bright bore, exhibiting some light inactive oxidation and retaining well defined rifling throughout. Grips show some light smoothing and a few scattered nicks to the diamonds, but are otherwise fine. Leather holster is very good, being still malleable and exhibiting scattered marks from handling and storage overall. A very nice all matching example of a Black Widow P.08.
