I hope to pick up an example next week, although it had some mishaps during it's short refurbished career.
These pistols pop up on eGun.de now and then. I paid about 700 € for mine, currently in the export pipeline with my agent. If you bide your time, you can get one for under 600 €. I disagree with disparagement of refurbished guns, given the precedent of several well-respected gunmakers turning military surplus into costly commemorative issues.
