Just got it.
I think it's a bit of a rare bird,
and this one is complete.

My 760 334 is the same in every detail, but no signal pin. And yours?

 

[Pancho]

Righto Hoba,
no signal pin, and the hammer ring is not grooved for a pin.
Our pistols have all of the characteristics of a Variation 2 in Dieter's book, except for the metal in the grips. They also lack the two piece firing pin that would make them a variation 1. So, it seems to me, they must be an intermediate variation--maybe a sub class of variation 2.

I think I've got a head ache.
I'm going to take a nap now.

Hi Pancho,

here is another one like yours.
It is interesting, that one grip is with and one without metal ( second type of PP grip ).

Hello Fritz,
What is the meaning of the mark on your pistol?
Does your firing pin have one or two lugs?

The mark on Fritz´s pistol is FWW and means Waffen Frankonia Würzburg. Waffen Frankonia is German leading weapons & outdoor dealer. This size of marking was used some 20 years ago. Today Frankonia marking is much smaller.

Thank you Jan.

Pancho, to your question: One lug.

Fritz,
I had sent my ser.# & photos to Dieter for his data base, and he emailed me the following:

"Did you realize that you have got the rare variation with two (!) lugs on the firing pin!? Congratulations! Dieter."

Kind of cool. I did not know about the rarity of the firing pin.
