the gun is in NRA very good or better condition, and retains almost all of its bluing(over 90%). the grips are wrap around checkered wood.

when was it made?
how many were made?
commercial sale or military issue?
value?(i could only find one reference stating that in fair condition it was worth $350.00-$450.00)
any body seen/owned/handled one???opinions???

  These are collectable, but relatively common, as they were made from 1910-1934. The value is not as high as you would anticipate, $400 in 100% conditon down to $170 in 90%. Exactly when yours was made is hard to say, but the high number would indicate later manufacture. They are sort of an odd looking little pistol, but had a good reputation for reliability. They were also produced in 7.65mm (Model 1914) and used as a police pistol, and some are found with military acceptance markings, probably Luftwaffe guns. In fact, I had one in my shop for repair in .25 cal., and it had waffenamts. There is one variation known as the sidelatch model which brings 30% more. You can find a short discertation, good photo, and disassembly procedure in J.B. Woods' "Firearms Assembly/Disassembly" Part 1: Automatic Pistols.
