Phosphate finished HSc listed by Legacy Collectables

(1/3) > >>

Biker86:
Legacy Collectables has an interesting HSc for sale: http://www.legacy-collectibles.com/hand-guns/mauser-hand-guns/nazi-phosphate-hsc-dual-tone  It is said to be a "dual tone" phosphate example, serial number 908416. It has the WaA marking on the web of the trigger guard indicating military purchase.
 
The description references the Mauser HSc book and admits the gun may be somewhat controversial among HSc collectors. They also point out that the broken wood grips that were on the gun have been replaced with factory Bakelite grips.
 
I'm not convinced the finish on this HSc is original, but I could be wrong. The phosphate is a very light color, in the photos it looks almost like nickel plate or stainless steel. The serial number would indicate that it was probably made after the experimental phosphate models made in early 1944, but before Mauser started standard phosphate finishing in early 1945. I'd like to hear what some other collectors think.
 
I should point out that Legacy Collectables has an excellent reputation and I believe they stand behind what they sell. I've bought two pistols and some other items from them and was well pleased. Nothing in this post should be interpreted to question their veracity.

Warbird:
It's a refinished Late Wartime HSc.  Looks like Legacy pulled the ad so they must have had second thoughts about it.

Biker86:
Well, good for them. Their reputation remains intact as far as I am concerned.

Buyer backed out of transaction.
