The furniture consists of checkered wood grip panels featuring a circular LA inlay on the left and a mother-of-pearl style decorative inlay on the right.

Condition report:
The pistol displays significant finish wear across the slide and frame, with noticeable scratching, thinning of the bluing, and scattered surface oxidation. The gold plating on the trigger and safety remains largely intact with some minor thinning on high-wear surfaces. The bore is bright with strong, visible rifling. The checkered wood grips show minor handling marks and small chips to the wood near the screw heads. The action appears to function correctly, though it has not been live-fire tested. The original factory box shows edge wear, some corner separation, and minor surface loss to the blue textured finish.
