Synopsis:

Unusual Chinese Warlord era pistol with dimpled, open-top slide, having a scattering of falsified FN and Mauser markings.

Condition:

Original rust blue with wear as one might expect from moderately heavy use. Safety functions properly but does not always release the hammer when rotated to the fire position. Dull bore with sharp rifling. Very unusual Chinese Warlord pistol, well marked, and especially nice it was pictured in the Chinese Warlord pistol book. NOT TO BE FIRED! NOT TO BE FIRED!
