Numbered in the second alphabet series, this example is constructed with eagle "77" proofed, Radom produced slide and frame but assembled later in 1945 by Steyr in characteristic late war configuration. Coarse phosphate finished with blued takedown and hammer. Slide marked on the left with 1-line address. Fixed blade front sight and drift adjustable rear. 2 latch pattern. Grips are 2-piece grooved wood. No visible imprt marks. Matching numbers observed throughout. Complete with Steyr produced "623" code magazine and brown leather holster ink stamped "bnz 1944 / P-35 (b)" on the inside of the flap. CONDITION: Very good. Nearly all of the arsenal phosphate finish is retained with some high edge silvering and surface scuffs. Takedown lever has some mild freckling. Left grip is excellent. Right has some grain separation and darkening. Fine mirror bore. Crisp mechanics. Holster remains supple with some minor wear.
