German proof mark on the left side of the frame, to the right of the serial number. Right side of the frame also has edge wear at the forward edge and at the dust cover, with fair to moderate edge wear continuing along the upper edge to the rear.

Loaded chamber indicator on the top of the slide, one of the prominent features of the P210-4. Light holster wear on the front and rear sights.

This P210-4 has been customized from its original factory configuration. Instead of the standard heel-mounted magazine release, the frame has been customized for a frame mounted magazine release. The button is mounted on the right side, typical for a left-handed shooter. There is a mark in the frame above the cutout for the magazine release button. The magazine disconnect safety has also been disabled, allowing the hammer to drop with the magazine removed. The magazine has been modified with a weighted base plate to allow the magazine to quickly drop free.
Originally manufactured and issued with black plastic grips, aftermarket wood grips have been installed; they are designed to mimic the style of the first delivery P210-4 wood grips, however the design is slightly different. The left side grip has a small crack at the backstrap below the beavertail. The right side grip has a chipped edge at the backstrap below the beavertail.
