Thanks, nice E/F. No doubt in my mind about the GB auction.
pardt:
Pre98 has a eagle f that is # 946744 in very high condition and the strap is still ribbed.

Thanks, I know jcorl is a fellow collector, but with all due respect to him, I am highly skeptical of his hypothesis that ". . . [Mauser] made two qualities of "F" [late in the war]." I just don't see it occurring in Feb/Mar/Apr 1945. I can't see anyone putting in extra cycles for a finish. As more evidence, proofs of Army Mausers (WaA135) were applied up side down. The futility of it all must have been obvious.
jcorl:
Yep,
That one looks perfectly similar to mine. A quick dip, if a dip at all. My "F" was surrendered in SCHWEINFURT just a couple of days after the war was over. The Vet that captured it had a neat story to tell about the old German gentleman that was carrying it at the time. We care for a little piece of history in them. Thanks for showing your photo.

pardt:
Attached photo is of a gunbroker auction from a few months ago. I will venture a theory about a higher polish and finish eagle f pistols that look original. Maybe Mauser had left over rejected parts from earlier production that they used to make up production late in the war. So you could have a few higher polished guns. Just a theory of course
