Item Description: Translate description
serial #595d, 9mm, 4'' barrel with an about good bore showing light pitting in the grooves and strong rifling throughout. This pistol bears the mysterious ''KI. / 1933'' chamber marking which has had numerous theories throughout the years from cadet institutes, early SS/SA reworks, concentration camp issued guns, Kassel arsenal reworks or Reichsheer Pioneer unit use. The true meaning remains a mystery but it is quite obvious that all of the examples known were reworked/overhauled. The markings on this example are a bit different than the others we have found as the ''KI'' letters are not serifed but there is a terminating period and the style of the numbers is consistent with other examples. The metal surfaces retain about 92% arsenal-quality refurbished blue showing some scattered high edge wear and light pitting beneath the finish. The small parts retain good straw color with some edge wear toning to pewter and all markings remain intact and strong, the pistol having originally been an Imperial era military P.08. The checkered walnut grips are un-numbered and remain in very good condition right and about good condition left, the left panel with small chips beneath the safety and along the top front edge. The remaining numbered parts are matching including the un-grooved firing pin, some probably having been arsenal-renumbered. One bright-bodied wood base magazine is included which has had its serial number canceled. An interesting variant for the advanced collector. (13B11728-352) {C&R} (1800/2200)
