Hoard another standard C96
 

Acquired one from flea market. Arrived today. It looks great. This winter is not cold. Saved some heating oil bill -- I love global warming.... Christmas is near, just reward myself a little bit.

Beautiful pistol Alvin, looks like you did great, congratulations.

Acquired from flea market?

Whats the story on that? And why would you have to wait for it if you bought it at a flea market

The gun was consigned to a dealer for selling online a few months ago. The seller lowered asking price a few times,,,, I sold a few guns recently so I could afford his gun. Since this gun is in great condition with matching stock, it's a small "investment item".

Alvin,

Congrats on your acquisition of such a fine piece.

Very nice.

Thanks!

My spouse does not have any interest in guns. After I showed her this pair today (#173726 is the subject one), even she admitted "this pair is pretty". Not consecutively numbered, but not too far away either.

These two were made in 1914.
