SN appears on the back of the tang. Spring tensioned bottom magazine release. Smooth bakelite grip panels, each secured by a single large-headed screw at base. Matching magazine with nine indicator holes. As per later guns, disassembly is effected by depressing the plunger above the tang & rotating the bbl slide assembly off the frame, confirming the bbl, slide and hammer have matching SNs.
