Gun on G-B and link to other photo-hosting site :

If I am not mistaken, these photos are from Andrew Zink's web site in CH. I recall Andrew offering a LP-08 rig about 1 month ago.

If you visit his web site, you can see the high quality of photos and set-up he uses for selling his weapons. His photograhy has its own quality "signature" if you have followed Andrew's web site for any time.

For anyone considering jumping in on the current G-B auction, it might be prudent to confirm with Andrew via e-mail that this gun is actually out of CH. Sometimes scam-artists "lift photos from another site and pretend they have it to sell/auction off and just run away with ones money. I doubt this is the case with the G-B seller; as he has a pretty strong feed-back record.

If it is out of CH and in the USA, I am sure Andrew did all the legal paperwork on his end, but he cannot control what the importer in the USA does to comply fully with USA laws. Andrew just does the paperwork on the CH end and then ships the package to the USA importer.

BTW...there is an absence of "halos" along some of the important serial number stampings, so more than likely this one was refinished in CH at some point in time after leaving Germany.

If this one had a Swiss cross/sunburst in place of the "1917" on its chamber, I would have bought it a month ago from Andrew, for certain
