The firearm is fitted with checkered wood grip panels featuring a gold-colored Taurus medallion inlay. The sighting system consists of fixed three-dot combat sights. The left side of the slide is marked with the Taurus logo and TAURUS BRASIL, alongside TAURUS INT.MFG.INC. MIAMI, FL. The right side of the slide is marked FORJAS TAURUS S.A. MADE IN BRAZIL and PT 100 AF CAL .40 S&W. The frame is stamped with the serial number SNA 37320 D. The lot includes one detachable double-stack magazine with a red follower, marked CAL .40 S&W MADE IN BRAZIL. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The pistol displays a well-used aesthetic with visible holster wear and silvering to the sharp edges of the slide and frame, particularly concentrated at the muzzle and forward portion of the slide. There is finish loss on the slide release, safety lever, and trigger guard. The checkered wood grips show handling marks but remain structurally sound. The bore is bright with strong, well-defined rifling. The double-action and single-action trigger pulls appear to function correctly, and the slide cycles smoothly. The included magazine shows finish wear and a scuffed baseplate but appears functional.
