Features the large ring, blue finish, fire blue extractor and rear sight adjusting bar. 23 groove walnut stocks with lanyard loop. The left side of frame is stamped Von Lengerke & Detmold New York. This was a well known New York importer and retailer for fine European weapons and gear. They were taken over by A&F in 1929. CONDITION: Fine. This gun retains at least 95% blue finish with some minor high edge wear but there is some spotting to the finish. Retains 50% of the niter blue. Grips are excellent. Bore is bright. Stock is excellent but does have repaired cracks and a chip on lid.
