HSc Production Chart
Warbird:
Welcome aboard, Marine. To give you any information on your HSc you will have to let me know the complete serial number. If you are not comfortable posting it here you can give it to me in a PM (Personal Message).
USMC_Ryfleman:
Hi Warbird and thank you. The complete serial number is 833629.
Warbird:
OK ... Your HSc was produced in May 1943 and, since there are no markings on the left side of the Trigger Guard or the Fronstrap of the Grip, it is considered to be a Commercial type pistol. That means it was not made specifically for a German military or police organization. It was, however, probably purchased by someone in one of those organizations since ownership by an ordinary citizen was forbidden.
Since I have no idea of the condition of this pistol other than matching serial numbers, it could be anywhere from $400 to $700. Without an original Magazine, that value may be reduced by the cost of a replacement, currently at $100 to $150.
As far as shooting it. don't forget you're dealing with an historical artifact of WWII that is almost 75 years old. Anything breaks, it may be expensive and/or impossible to replace. The Grips are a good example ... replacement for them would more than likely have to come out of Europe and cost more than the Magazine + international shipping. So, if you have to shoot it, get a pair of cheap replacement Grips or, better yet, by a cheap .32 for less than the cost of a Magazine and shoot it!
Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with. Semper Fi ... OORAH!
USMC_Ryfleman:
Thank you so much for such a detailed reply. I think I'll just find an original magazine and keep it in my safe as a collectable. I was definitely shocked at the price of original mags so I don't want to have to replace anything else, that's for sure!
Semper Fi!!

Thanks for all the great information on your forum. I have a wartime HSc that my Dad brought back from Europe, SN 712720 all numbers match. No holster or spare mag, but I do have the capture papers. The finish is probably 90-95%. The left grip has a small piece missing from the tip and I have put on a set of replacements from Midway to prevent any more breakage. These are great little guns, fun to shoot and very accurate.
The marks on it are: Eagle/N on right muzzle and right triggerguard, Eagle/655 on left triggerguard, and a small Eagle stamp on the left tang. Is this a 1941 model? Thanks for any help! George
