Manufactured in 1935 as a late third model with the scarce factory fitted round barrel.

the parts cleanup. It has the standard round barrel markings as well as factory oval proofs on the barrel and receiver at the breech. Mounted with a twelve-groove slide handle and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.
