Here are some pics

 

And holster pics (came with pistol when i bought it)

 

Hello and welcome to the forum Sorry I can't be of any help, but that is a nice pistol I'm sure someone on here can help!

 

There are some knowledgeable guys on here, so I would be surprised if no one is able to help you decypher what you have.

 

Best information I have on hand says that starting sometime in 1964, serial numbers added the "T" prefix, and that the non-prefix numbers ended in early 1964 at 115,823. Based on that, it looks like your gun would have been perhaps '63 or '64.

Sounds about right to me. Concealed extractor, but no knuckle and no dished-out area on the left side of the slide. The change to an external extractor officially took place in 1962, but I have seen quite a few "transitional" types around the time the change was made.

 

Thanks Yooper..that's what I have but it does say they stopped at 115K so 143K w/o a T doesn't really make sense. Of course some say that Silesia may have ordered enough to have a special run of serial numbers.

 

Here's a thread which may shed a bit of light on things:

SILESIA Hi Power

 

Silesia is a commerical gun dist. in Germany. Just Davidson,s here stateside. Back in the early 1960,s in W-Germany in service I bought a few over there and brought them home.
