Arms, Armor and Militaria

Good. Bore is Bright with worn rifling throughout. Metal finish retains polish to internal parts with mottled gray patina forming to the rear bolt. Item maintains much of the straw color on the magazine release and trigger with losses along flanks and gray patina forming. Blued finish shows edgewear with flaking and some pitting at right muzzle and to the top of the frame in two places. Right grip panel is cracked and chipped on the upper edge with a further chip showing on the upper left corner of the left panel. Grips otherwise retain strong checkering with staining and some handling mars.

WARNING: Grip safety mechanism is non-operational, and fails to prevent the firing pin's release.
