Late Phosphate HSc

Warbird:
I agree with your conclusions, i.e., the Grips were produced in the Post-War era with poor materials.  They do have some significance as an artifact of that period so if you ever replace them with wood or plastic, I would retain them in your collection.

French records of German production in the final months of the war recorded 2,310 HSc pistols produced in March (refer to p.25 in your book).  That would come in at around serial number 950489 (German Army Acceptance mark).

As to your pistol, it was a new addition to our database (thanks for sharing!).  I do not believe it ever left the factory until the French probably put it to use or traded it to a G.I. as war booty.  I think that's all your questions for now, if anything else comes to mind, let me know ... I'm always available.

vlim:
Close to my 951740, which has neither commercial proofs, nor military or French markings.

HWaA:
Now that's getting really close to the end. I enjoy the history of these end of German production guns. If you could post a picture of that HSc that would be great.

jcorl:
I cannot come close to your late serial numbered guns.  Maybe I can get lucky someday.  Stranger things have happened,  Congratulations to you both.

Jim
