Thank you VERY much for the information.  I had never noticed the eagle on the slide. I don't shoot it as much as some other weapons because of its age and the fact that I plan to pass it on to my son (I inherited it from my dad, who purchased it in 1952). It does shoot really well using S&B ball ammunition.  The light recoil allows me to use "triple-tap" groups with pretty good accuracy (8-10" groups) at 7-10 yards (adequate for defensive shooting). Thanks especially for the advice on the wooden grips. Dad did keep a set of rather gaudy "pearl" grips for it, although he preferred the wood.  I think I might put the pearl grips on it, as you suggest.  Thanks also for the info on extra magazines. Think I may go look for one today.

Great chart!  Determined my HSc 7.65mm ser.#786316 was a 1942 product.  Has the eagle and I think either an "N" or an "M" on the right side of the trigger guard (UNLESS the eagle has big feet. That is possible, I suppose, as my eyes are not what they once were). Left side of trigger guard is clean. Shoots great with ball ammo; not good with other bullet shapes. Wouldn't mind finding an extra magazine for it.
