So the buyer owns a "virtual gun". If buyer decides to take the delivery, the dealer will send to him adding shipping cost. But that's optional.

Finally, if collector wants, the collection is papers with the gun picture, s/n, etc printed on it, which can be easily carried and stored in a deposit box. Sounds crazy. But that's an advanced business model. Gun transaction is too primitive.

The sear (long part blocking the hammer) on this variation is not supposed to be numbered.

I may be incorrect about the sear then - it's a piece that fits between the locking lug in the slide and the top of the bit that fits in the frame. the front part of it is a knob that interacts with the hammer spring i believe.
