Condition report:
The pistol is in very good military surplus condition, retaining a high percentage of its gray parkerized finish with standard thinning and wear visible on the slide serrations, edges, and high points of the frame. The bore is bright with well-defined rifling. The action appears to function correctly, though we have not function-tested this firearm. The bakelite grips are in good condition with minor handling marks and light surface scratches. The leather holster remains supple with clear markings, showing typical signs of service use and minor age-related darkening. The magazines and cleaning rod show light surface wear consistent with age.
