Thank you for the quick reply and the nice photos! You do have a very rare
pistol from the first HSc production in Dec 1940 known as the low grip screw variety, beginning at 700 000 and ending at 701 345. At 701 348, production continued with the grip screw location raised higher up the grips.
Of the total 1345 low grip screw pistols, about half were procured and marked by the Kriegsmarine, with the other half sold in the commercial market. If your HSc was procured by the Kriegsmarine, it would have a KM property mark on the front grip strap together with the serial number
Being deactivated and in Europe, it's difficult to provide it's market value, but
I will see what I can find.
I have a question for the forum
Mauser Hsc nickel plated serial number 954053
Wood grips
Nazi Eagle markings at barrel end
I am led to Believe this is French IndoChina war

Any background expertise available?
