SOLD MAUSER HSc RARE TEST EAGLE SMALL 655 WAFFENAMT….. EARLY 1940 PRODUCTION ARMY ISSUE…NICE!

In 96%+ very sharp attractive condition, we have a very early 1940 production German Army accepted Mauser HSc pistol. This pistol is among the very first 3,000 accepted by the army and it has a small 655 waffenamt and a test eagle on the rear left side of the frame.  This marking is identical to the marking on the Army accepted Model 1934 Mauser pistol, which the Model HSc replaced. after the first 3000 pistols a change was made to a larger sized 655 proof which is much more commonly encountered.  This pistol has the early features such as the matted slide top, the lanyard loop and the very high polish commercial blue. As you can imagine, this is a very rare and highly sought after German military pistol from the collecting standpoint and the historical one as well.
