CAL. 7.65 – MADE IN ITALY and the right side marked P.B. – MOD. 81 – PATENTED. The left side of the frame bears the serial number D 46324 W, while the right side displays Italian proof marks and a boxed AF date code. The front strap is stamped with the import mark PW ARMS REDMOND WA.

Condition report:
The black finish shows moderate wear, particularly along the edges of the slide and frame, with some scattered scratches and thinning on high points. The bore was not inspected. The action appears to function correctly, though we have not function-tested this firearm. The polymer grips are in good condition with minor handling marks. The included Bianchi holster exhibits heavy scuffing, surface cracking, and general wear consistent with field use.
