Not sure if anyone else spotted this, but it went through Gunbroker last week.
A decent Austrian proofed Jager pistol, nicer than my own example anyway.
Here's a few photos from the auction, so as to add it to the Jager database.
The magazine number does not match, but these are very scarce pistols.

Enjoy!

Yes I was watching this , very nice shape but the Austrian proof with 17 dated made this even rarer I don't think I've seen another Austria proofed one before

Fascinating example of an ersatz holster!

What makes it so fascinating? I must admit to my untrained eye, it looks rather like a standard ersatz.

If you look closely the roller impressions are quite pronounced. Where the paper has been pressed together. Front & back. Eye of the beholder sort of thing I guess.

Ah, yes! I see what you mean! Untrained eye and all very pronounced and unique indeed.

I saw this pistol about 15 yrs. ago at a Miami gunshow. I reported the sighting on this forum at the time. The owner was walking it around trying to get some info on it but he wasn’t interested in selling it. Glad to see it finally came to light.

Interesting. I have SNs 10245, 10629 and10672 on my list that are Austrian proofed. If anyone is interested in a copy my list of with, now with this one, 242 Jagers and the article I wrote, with Stefan Klein's help, for AutoMag, send me a PM.
I have an excellent restored Jager and its holster and excellent condition original horn grips for sale. See Guns International for pictures.
