    JP Sauer 38, Eagle N?

    What is the Eagle N mean? There is an Eagle with an N below it on the other side of the frame... Picked this one up a while a go, not a bad price, came with wartime holster...Guy I bought it from said Eagle N was for police...was he right? In any event, not a bad addition to the collection.

    Eagle N is the nitro proof mark, which replaced the earlier Crown N marking.
    The Eagle C is the mark of a pistol inspected and stamped for police use, the C being the inspectors initial. There are also Eagle F stamped Sauers, the F again being the inspectors initial.
    Nice looking Sauer and nicely displayed
    I would love to see more of this beauty,any chance of posting more pics including the holster ?
    Regards Toby.

            It's hard to tell from the pic but I think you may have the variation with the checkered mag release button. Is it checkered?

                      The checkered mag release pistol is a hard to find variant. From what I've read they were modified by police armorers in '43 in response to an order from the Interior Ministry.

                        Thats correct, reducing the height of the mag release button prevented the accidental ejection of the magazine.
