This Army-accepted Fifth Variation HSc carries the eagle/WaA135 mark on the left trigger-guard web and the correct three-line left slide legend associated with late-war production. Its production falls within the Fifth Variation serial block of 887,856-951,629, and the serial number is stamped on the front strap as expected for this variant.
The pistol is a compact .32 ACP with a fixed barrel and concentric recoil spring in a straight blowback system. It uses a DA/SA trigger with a manual safety and magazine disconnect, along with a heel-type magazine catch. There is no external slide stop, and the slide wears diagonal rear serrations.
Construction is all steel with a blued finish on the frame, slide, and receiver, paired with checkered wooden grip panels. Sighting is straightforward and durable, consisting of a fixed front blade and an integral rear notch.
Capacity is 8+1 with the included steel single-stack magazines. The 3.2" barrel and compact size make it a representative wartime HSc configuration, and the acceptance marks and configuration details align with 1944 Army-accepted production.
