The factory high-polish bright nickel finish and gold-colored trigger set this example apart visually while remaining fully consistent with the commercial offering of the period. Checkered walnut stocks with Browning medallions complete the period-correct presentation.
The sighting system features a micrometer-style adjustable rear sight with protective ears and a fixed ramp front sight with a serrated face for a defined sight picture. The 4.65-inch barrel maintains the classic P35 profile.
