Picture number 001 (courtesy of Earl Battey) This Model 94 pistol is matching including 1 magazine. It came in the leather holster with shoulder strap and Model 94 cleaning rod (see below).
There were about 2000 Model 94's produced during this production month. (See pistol production charts; go to the home page under pistols.) The late war, slab sided grips were a production change from the earlier checkered bakelite grips. Model 94 holsters with original shoulder straps such as the one pictured are very rare.
