Pistol is accompanied by an original factory leather soft case, which matches via a handwritten serial number on the exterior tag, and contains its factory manual and warranty and registration card. CONDITION: Extremely fine, with metal components retaining virtually all of their original factory blue finish, save for some minute superficial marks from handling and storage.
