Usual chamber address with full SN on left chamber flat. Crown/Crown/U on left side of bbl extension; antler proof on right side. Right side of frame with 2-line address.

Detailed disassembly shows all matching parts including the firing pin and each of the grip panels. PROVENANCE: The Friedrich-Wilhelm Dauphin Collection, Germany. CONDITION: Many of the GOG marked police pistols, as this example, were refurbished during use or before their release as surplus. This gun has approx. 75-80% refurbished blue. Several exposed small parts that were originally in the white have now oxidatively toned to a mellow brown. Moderate wear on each of the grips that is consistent with the overall appearance of the pistol. Bright bore, slightly etched with shallow rifling. Perfect manual mechanics. A very desirable and seldom seen six shot with a well documented history! 49828-112 LMA (5,000-10,000) C&R – Lot 3107
