Description
Heckler & Koch P7 Prototype, gold plated and engraved. This particular firearm is the prototype variant of the firearm published in the H&K book, pictured above. It is chambered in 9mm Luger with the serial number 71233, boasts matching numbers, and has a barrel length of 105 mm. Featuring a bright bore with polygonal rifling, it carries German-proof marks from 1986. The three-dot sights provide precision aiming, and standard markings, including “HK CHANTILLY VA” on the left-hand side, contribute to its authenticity.
Maintaining its original finish, this HK P7 Prototype showcases arabesque gold-plated etching, adding a touch of elegance. The black plastic grips complement its overall design. The package includes two magazines and a tool, all housed in an as-new condition within the original HK wooden case, complete with a key.
The establishment of a US subsidiary in Chantilly (Virginia) in 1979 indicates the increased demand for Heckler & Koch guns in North America, further contributing to the historical context of this meticulously preserved firearm.
