German Police-Marked J.P. Sauer & Sohn 38H Semi-Auto Pistol With Holster
serial #489413, 32 ACP, 3 1/2'' barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces of this Variation 3 pistol retain about 92% original rough late war blue showing some mild high edge wear, a few sparse oxidation speckles and slight thinning along the gripstraps. The alloy trigger is a medium gray tone and all markings remain crisp and clear showing ''(Eagle) / N'' commercial proofs and ''(Eagle) F'' police marking on the left-side triggerguard. The black checkered grips appear to be excellent quality Czech reproductions of phenolic resin that fit beautifully. The slide is matching the frame and the pistol includes two original magazines, one with some lightly cleaned areas and moderate silvering along the body and with ''SuS'' monogram-marked steel floorplates. The more worn magazine appears to have originally been a police magazine as it is numbered on the base ''1 / 983''. Finally included is a nice original black leather flap holster made by A. Fischer of Berlin and dated 1942, also showing what appears to be a slightly faded blue ink retailer stamp on the inside flap. The holster shows some light scuffing and edge wear otherwise retaining fine stitching. A very fine ensemble for the German martial collector. (13B11770-7) {C&R} (1200/1800)
