Super Match .38 1935 Model, Pre-WWII

Only 5,000 of these specially fit and finished target-grade pistols were manufactured. Have fixed sights or Stevens adjustable sights. Top surfaces are matte-finished to reduce glare. Twelve hundred pistols were purchased and sent to Britain in 1939, at the then-costly rate of $50 per unit. Last few thousand pre-war Super .38 pistols made had Swartz safety parts installed, but some pistols were assembled post-war with leftover parts. Post-war-assembled pistols did not have Swartz safeties installed, but most (possibly all) had the cutouts. In 1945, 400 pistols were purchased by the U.S. Government. These 400 pistols bear the G.H.D. acceptance mark as well as Ordnance crossed cannons. G.H.D. and Ordnance marked add 30-50 percent. A factory letter is probably necessary here. Swartz Safeties add 20 percent. Some collectors feel that post-war assembly and post-war chemical tank bluing adds a premium, others feel that it requires a deduction. NOTE: Add 20- 75 percent for both models for finish 99-100 percent.
