Greetings Alle
Have very recently taken possession of "An HSc Rig" - comprised of a about flawless late
by Ser.# 850575, "Peak War Series", Eagle/F pistol. These, I'd been led to believe, were
only mfg. during 1945 - and my serial # indicates mfg. in late August of '43.
The piece came in a dark burnished looking brown "Strap Up" E/B stamped holster which
also bears a WaA1,possibly 4, and unknown last digit - both stampings on flap beneath the
strap. The piece wears the "Military Blue" finish, has the earlier "Etched" slide markings, sans
3 lines & with vert. lines in Mauser logo. The grip panels are of unmarred dark brown vertically 
grained wood. Both magazines are of in-the-white bodies with blued floor plates, without either 
the Mauser logo - or indents.
Other stampings consist of the E/N on right of trigger guard and right tip of slide at muzzle.
This being my first HSc - I've purchased "The Mauser HSc Pistol" volume. My Posting here
being for whatever, if any, information may be gleaned by the members herein.
At present, I've not taken any photos of the lil jewel.

Warbird:
Welcome to the forum, DerAck.  Unfortunately, your HSc is much too early in production to be an Eagle/F.  It has already been reported as a Commercial HSc produced during a considerably large run of this type.  Perhaps if you could photograph the Eagle/F on the left Trigger Guard web we can clear this up.  The first Eagle/F was 945568 made in January 1945.

Well, this being my fourth attempt at uploading photos to your Forum -
My little Canon SX150 IS took half a dozen photos of my newest acquisition,
paying particular attention to the "Impossible" stick Adler mit Hakenkreuz und "F"
thereupon - and one of the Front Strap Serial #.
My photos range from 1.43MB to 1.69MB - your Forum machinery informs me
that no photo may exceed 1024 KB. Suggestions??
Whatever - it is definitely an E/F - and unless some critter has made himself such a
stamp (if so, a mighty fine job was done) or, there are genuine/original E/F stamps
lurking about - then It's, as my original post questioned or suggested - It Is Real!
If You Catch My Drift.
It's presently 2153hrs. and I'm about to get something to eat - and go fly RoF for awhile -
No offense intended.
Guten Nacht

Warbird:
None taken, DerAck.  The truth can sometimes be a bitter pill to swallow.  May I suggest you go elsewhere to find the confirmation you seek.

Eagle/F stamps have been available on E-bay for a few years now. Slapping the back of a stamp with the business end against the right spot of a commercial example is the easiest way to fake a more valuable example. Serial number databases and knowledge of what is correct is the best way to protect yourself against such fakes. If I had a HSC question Warbird is the one person I would ask and know that I would get an honest answer.

Regards,
