Well guys, I picked up the gun Saturday and it is a beauty. Looks to be in mint shape. The serial # is 11.010323. (can I get a manufacturing date?)

The only flaw is some faint action marks on the rear frame (maybe from the factory test firing or just working the toggle action??) Several letters in the 'Made In Germany' stamp are slightly misaligned.

To me, the toggle action and grip safety seem to take a lot of force to actuate. Is this normal or does it just need a little lube job since it has been sitting in a safe for 35 years??

Also, the manual says the 'Safe' and 'Loaded' markings are in English while they are actually in German.

Overall, I am a VERY happy camper.

Any and all comments are welcome.

Thanks,

-ML
