    I dont know that there is a compiled list. Way too many variations, and too many war-related disruptions.What are the markings on the left-side of the slide?

    Late 1930's, possibly as late as 1941. RFV stands for Reichs-Finanz-Verwaltung, which was the Finance Administration for the Nazi's. The gun should have Crown/N proofs, brown grips and either a polished or a rough finish (a reasonable assumption would show the polished guns to be earlier than the milled finish guns).Depending on condition, I have seen these go as high as $1400 (truly mint, high polish, with accessories).

    Frame should have a Waffen proof mark on the left side, above and to the left of the mag release.Pistols prior to, and into WWII were generally of higher quality. As the war went against Germany, specifications were relaxed to meet both quanity, and reduced labor force.Please also e-mail pics, etc., tojabsao@msn.comThank you.
    Happy Bullet Holes!
